  2. Rider UCI rank (#161) 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: €4.0M.

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
Daniel Benson (May 28, 2025 Substack) places Sergio Higuita in the Grand Tour 6-10th band of €1M-€1.5M per season: 'Sergio Higuita was probably on this wage when he was at Red Bull.' Has since moved to XDS Astana — realized pay at new team likely lower per Benson's general pattern, but band placement reflects his career trajectory.
