Chris Froome Becomes Highest-Paid Rider

Peter Sagan Remains Close Behind

Salary Estimates Emerge in Cycling World

Chris Froome has emerged as the highest-paid rider in cycling, with an estimated salary of at least 4 million euros per year. The former Tour de France champion has joined Israel Start-Up Nation after a disappointing 2019 season marred by injury.

Froome's return to form has been closely watched, and his move to a new team has prompted speculation about his earnings. Reports suggest that he has signed a lucrative contract that surpasses that of his rivals, including Peter Sagan.

Sagan, a three-time world champion, is believed to be earning around 3.5 million euros per year. He remains one of the most marketable riders in cycling, but Froome's stature as a former Tour winner has given him the edge in terms of earning potential.

The emergence of Froome as the highest-paid rider is a testament to his enduring popularity and the value that teams place on his experience and success. As he continues his recovery from injury, Froome will be hoping to justify his hefty salary by delivering more victories in the years to come.
