How this estimate is made. Lidl-Trek's riders' wage pool is €20.2M (budget €45M × 45%). After fixed reported salaries, the rest is split by a value score (0.6 × 2026 PCS points + 0.4 × career points per season, raised to the power 1.15) with an age factor of 0.9 for age 33; half of the estimate comes from the same allocation run league-wide, so leaders of small teams aren't over-priced. Floor for this rider: €90k. Full method. Typical error on a single rider: ±40%.
