No reported salary figure is on file for this rider, so the estimate comes from our rubric — a function of team budget and rider UCI position.

  2. Rider UCI rank (#35) positions the rider on that team's pay curve. A top-3 rider on a top team earns near the bracket ceiling; a domestique earns closer to the bracket floor.

Bracket ceiling for this team: €1.5M.

Think the estimate is off?
UCI pro cycling teams and riders generally do not publicize contract details, so figures here are detailed estimates built from all publicly available data — including reporting from cycling press, statements by riders and team management, prize-money records, and known sponsorship deals. If you have a strong view on this rider's compensation, vote it higher or lower within the rubric range.

T2Daniel Benson's Cycling Substack
Richard Carapaz is placed in Benson's Grand Tour podium band of €1.8M-€2M+ per season (May 28, 2025 Substack) based on a string of recent GT GC top-3 finishes (Giro 2nd 2022, TDF 3rd 2021, Giro 3rd 2025). Derived placement — Benson does not list Carapaz by name, but his pedigree directly matches the tier's defining criterion. Recency rule cleanly satisfied (most recent podium 2025, UCI rank 35, 1796 points).
