According to the Italian media, the average budget for a men's World Tour team is now 32 million euros, or 12 million more than in 2021. As a result, riders' salaries have naturally increased. Unsurprisingly, the highest paid man in the peloton is Tadej Pogacar, author of the Giro-Tour de France-World Championship hat-trick (in addition to the Strade Bianche, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Tour de Lombardie, etc.) in 2024. The Slovenian, who extended until 2030 with the UAE Team Emirates, would receive almost 8 million euros per year. While the average salary of a World Tour rider would be around 500,000 euros.
