Tom Pidcock and Adam Yates Trail Pogačar in Earnings
Tadej Pogačar, the two-time Tour de France winner, has reportedly signed a contract extension with UAE Team Emirates, making him the highest earner in the professional peloton. The new contract is said to pay Pogačar an estimated 28 million per season.
Remco Evenepoel, the reigning UCI Road World Champion, lies sixth on the list of highest earners with an estimated salary of 28 million per season. Tom Pidcock and Adam Yates are also among the top earners, with salaries estimated at 15 million and 12 million per season, respectively.
Pogačar's contract extension is a major coup for UAE Team Emirates, as the Slovenian rider is considered one of the best cyclists in the world. Pogačar has won the Tour de France twice in a row, and he is also the reigning champion of the Vuelta a España and the Tour of Flanders.
Evenepoel is another rising star of the sport, and his high salary reflects his potential. The Belgian rider won the UCI Road World Championships in 2021, and he has also won several major stage races, including the Tour of Spain and the Tour of Lombardy.
Pidcock and Yates are both versatile riders who can compete at the highest level in both road races and mountain bike events. Pidcock won the Olympic mountain bike gold medal in 2021, and he has also won several road races, including the Tour of Britain and the Giro d'Italia Under-23.
Yates is a former world champion in the time trial, and he has also won several major stage races, including the Vuelta a España and the Paris-Nice. He is a key member of the Ineos Grenadiers team, and he is expected to be one of the favorites for the Tour de France in 2024.
