The world of cycling is one of the most viewed sports in the world with the crown jewel being the tour to France and as a result the best performers in that race to a audience of hundreds of millions of people across the race receive a very lucrative salary but in

Terms of how much Pro cyclists actually earn to go through all the hardship the crashes the triumphs of their career the minimum salary of 2024 is € 42,47 for the minimum salary and this will rise to 44,1 15 by 2025 and the exception here is that Neo Pros they receive a figure

Of € 34,2 for the first season but one thing that we’ll see in this list of the 10 best performers is that it’s not proportional to the UCI ranking that we’ve already looked into of 2023 anyways with that out of the way let’s look at the 10 most successful riders in

Terms of salaries first on our list is one Rider who was elevated by his 2023 performance in the tour and that was Carlos Rodriguez who managed to battle his way to fourth place and won a stage along the way his future was up in the air around the race as it was rumored

That he would be going to movie star but the young Spanish star decided to stay with the British outfit and thereby managed to secure himself a 2.5 million EUR a year contract and for Enos granders this was very important to retain him as they have had quite a hard

Time keeping their young superstars but Carlos Rodriguez looks like he is going to be the man who fills that GC void as a result he signed a contract to the end of 2027 staying with inos grenadiers the man that should have spearheaded the team in these years is Egan Bernard the

Colombian Superstar who earns a figure of 2.5 million a year the 2019 total FR Champion has not been the same since his crash in 2022 and had a remark marable comeback in order just to get back on the bike he has recovered somewhat and has taken part in a number of races but

He is in the same force that we saw in 2021 at the Jalia where he dominated the race almost from start to finish he does have a contract until the end of 2026 and it’ll be interesting to see if he continues in this sport once that

Contract is up as we know the crash really changed him coming in number eight and this is the first U memor Rider Adam Yates who made a big money move from inos grandez to UAE team Emirates for the 2023 season and he really showed that that €2.7 million EUR

A year salary he receives from the team has definitely been worth it as he managed to finish on the podium once again in the UAE tour won the romen D tour before most notably finishing third at the tour to France and of course also won the GP Montreal race but aside from

His results the the single most crucial role he had for the team was as the last man for tatcha and really showed that he was a vital signing for the team as he frequently was the last man before tatcha and vingle his contract is until 2025 and maybe he’ll have one more

Contract extension with the team if all goes well next on the list is another inios grand Rider and this is the highest paid one it’s not garan Thomas the Toral France Champion but his countryman of Tom pockock who’s is earning €2.7 million a year poock has demonstrated that he’s one of the most

Unique Riders within the pelaton not only has he won the World Championships in cycle cross but also in mountain biking along with his Olympic mountain biking goal from 2021 and in 2023 he hit the big time once again winning Strat bian and also finishing on the podium Li

Bast which was his first Monument Podium but his unique skill set and Next Level bike control has made him not only a superstar on the road but also a viral sensation when we look back to the incredible descent he did at stra yank this year but also at the cold the galier in

2022 will Tom pitock ever rise to win a grand tour such as the tour to France one day that is their Eternal question but while we wait he has certainly carved out a very unique path for himself in terms of the sport next on the list is the double world champion in

The road race in 202 2 and the time trial in 2023 none other than Remco avenol who reportedly earns €2.8 million a year since bursting onto the scene in 2018 at the junior World Championships in inbrook he has really lived up to the tag of the next Eddie MKS having won

Numerous stage races already in his young career and even winning the welta espia being the first Belgian Rider to win a grand tour in many years and there is no doubt that sadal quickstep have complete faith and have bet the house on rco as a project as the team have

Largely transitioned from a sprinter classic team to almost entirely a Remco Veno Le team his future was up in the air on the back end of last year but he has a contract that lasts until the end of 2026 and it seems like he is really the Forefront if Belgium are going to

Win the Tour to France or the jir once again but sadal quickstep have certainly done well to back their Belgian super St staying on the Belgian theme next we have wal vard who reportedly brings in €3.5 million a year not sure if that includes his cycle cross bonuses while

Vard has been an incredible rider for yumo visma in the last few years not only getting big results on his own and winning Tour of France stages but he has also been instrumental in toppling tab gatcha at the Tour of France helping Jones M go crack him on the hon and is

Perhaps the best allrounder in the Pelon right now as he’s won on a multitude of terrains and is a true Powerhouse of the sport his contract is until the end of 2026 and it will be interesting to see if he stays with the team or if the recent rumors of potentially joining

Borah hancur could be on the table you can’t say what Berard without the next Rider on this list and that is of course the demigod of cyc cross Macho vapo the double world champion who reportedly earns €4 million a year but this is not including sponsorships and his cycle

Cross earnings as well so it could be a lot more Macho manipul is an incredible Rider that performs brilliantly on the big stage in 20123 he won Milan San rmo after a terrific descent he also went on to win parabay as well as his two World Championships both on the road and in

Cyc Cross Manch anapo was even recognized by his own country as he became the Dutch athlete of the Year beating out the Formula 1 Superstar Max ven who had an all conquering season there but what is incredible is that match of anapol has remained with the same team for his entire career and

Brought them all the way to the world tour and the team has now become one of the forces in both the Sprints and the classics how long will he stay with the team probably forever next on the list is a rider who recently extended his contract with his team and that is the

Two-time Toro France Champion yoris Mingo earning reportedly €4 million a year Mingo joined the team in 2019 and since then has has evolved into the best climber in the Pelon but this was not reflected in his salary despite the dominance in the 2023 season where he

Almost also won the wel span on top of the tour France win doofan and the tour of the B country how long will they stay with a team it seems like it fits really well and they are 100% in on the vingal project so I think he will be there for

A long time before we go into the last two Riders here are some of the notable exceptions on the list such as the former number one of the most paid Rider Chris F who’s no longer even in the top 10 after his extension at Israel Premier Tech saw his salary reduced because the

Results weren’t there another point is the team have been relegated since then and of course sep cus the Welter espania champion and super domestique is also perhaps the most notable exception on this list who recently renewed with his team as well if you haven’t already make sure to hit the like button and

Subscribe to the channel and let me know what you think of this list as well but coming into number two we have the borans gr new superstar that is Primos rugit who signed an incredible deal that was too good to Turn Down for 2024 and 2025 making him €4.5 million a year the

Jalia champion of 2023 had an impressive record in the season at one point he was winning 100% of the stage races that he took part in the only stage race he didn’t win was the Welter Bia and this was where he was a bit disgruntled after

He was denied a shot somewhat at the Welter spania title after team order he finished third ofall but was able to win stages including the angaro finish and had an incredible form throughout the race so a move to borans certainly seems like a good one a strong team and they

Are totally aligned behind him so perhaps he can once and for all tick that box off of winning the Tour of France the last big race that he wants to put on his palarz coming in at number one and no surprise that the highest paid rider in the world is tab gatcha

Who is not only a character on the bike but also one off the bike but his salary of €6 million EUR a year is down to his Fierce nature on the bike of course ever since he was picked up by uat memores back in 2019 after winning the tour laer

In 2018 he is an all conquering force on the bike and on top of that this year he became the first Rider who’s won the Tour of France in many years to go on to win the Tour of Flanders which just shows his absolute incredible aptitude

On on the bike his impressive record at the Tour of France is also something to behold as he’s won two times in 2020 and 2021 but then finishing second in 2022 and 2023 he’s the face of uat memat and has shown that he is able to win not

Only grand Tours in terms of the tour but also winning monuments being an incredible wreck and ball at e ladia won Li Bastin Li as well and has almost been on the podium in Milan San Remo he’s a phenomenal force in terms of the cycling world and a Incredible Gift to this

Generation of cycling but his contract is until 2027 and this is one of the longest contracts that we’ve seen in the sport when it was first announced but with that that’s basically it for this list of the top 10 riders with the highest salaries in 2024 if you haven’t already make sure to

Check out the UCI top 10 ranking and and if you want to hear more about tab Jaa why not check out his potential incredible feat of 2024 but with that thank you very much for watching and I will see you around
