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 1.0 for age 32; half of the estimate comes from the same allocation run league-wide, so leaders of small teams aren't over-priced.
