The discussion was inspired in part by a report of how much the world\u2019s best cyclist, Tadej Poga\u010dar of UAE Team Emirates, will be earning next year: $8.3 million (\u20ac7.9 million).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s quite a raise from his 2024 salary of $6 million, but then he had a spectacular season in 2024, winning 25 races, including two Grand Tours, and is unanimously considered to be the best rider on the road and perhaps even the best ever.<\/p>\n<p>It was then reported, first by the Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport and then by <a href=\"https:\/\/en.brujulabike.com\/half-a-million-for-men-and-85k-for-women-filtered-the-average-salaries-and-budgets-of-the-worldtour\/\">other sources,<\/a> that the cost of funding a team has grown by 33% since 2022, to a total annual budget of \u20ac570 million ($600 million) for all the current World Tour teams. The total budget for corresponding women\u2019s teams was \u2018only\u2019 \u20ac70 million, although that represented a growth since 2022 of 100%.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a list of the five largest budgets of the men\u2019s World Tour teams, as estimated by <em>procyclinguk.com<\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>UAE Team Emirates<\/strong>: \u20ac55\u2013\u20ac60 million.<\/li>\n<li><strong>INEOS Grenadiers<\/strong>: \u20ac50\u2013\u20ac55 million.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Visma-Lease a Bike<\/strong>: \u20ac50\u2013\u20ac55 million.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lidl-Trek<\/strong>: \u20ac30\u201335 million.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soudal\u2013QuickStep<\/strong>: \u20ac25\u2013\u20ac30 million.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It will be noted that three of these five teams had excellent seasons in 2024, especially the team with the top budget. Jumbo-Visma had its season ruined by a series of disastrous rider crashes but won all three Grand Tours in 2023, an unprecedented feat in the sport. (INEOS had long dominated the sport, both in terms of success and budget. Its failure to turn money into success over the past several years was down to bad luck and unfortunate decisions.)<\/p>\n<p>This growth in funding and the relationship between money and success was also noticed by the magazine Bicycling, which went on to suggest that perhaps it isn\u2019t fair that \u201ccycling\u2019s most prestigious races are being dominated by this small group of ultra-wealthy teams.\u201d This led the author to raise the inevitable question: \u201cIs it time for professional cycling to introduce a salary cap?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before I answer that question (alright, I\u2019ll answer it now: no), it should be noted that in the world of professional sports, Poga\u010dar\u2019s salary \u2013 even if we add to it other monetary perks such as bonuses, appearance, and promotion fees \u2013 is really no big deal. This is because cumulative inflation over the years, as well as the entry into various sports, including cycling, of Mideast oil interests (such as the United Arab Emirates), has greatly upped the ante.<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode-ys-post-pinup\"><article class=\"loop-simple post-197440 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-road-cycling tag-cyclo-cross tag-cyclocross tag-jasper-philipsen tag-mathieu-van-der-poel tag-visma-lease-a-bike tag-wout-van-aert global-categories-cycling\" data-postid=\"197440\" role=\"article\" data-post-id=\"197440\" data-word-count=\"707\" data-headline-length=\"46\" data-category=\"Road cycling\" data-global-category=\"Cycling\" data-author=\"Siegfried Mortkowitz\" data-published=\"2024-12-11T10:09:30+00:00\" data-published-day=\"Wednesday\">\n    <div class=\"entry-thumbnail article-thumbnail\" content=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2024\/12\/Wout-van-Aert-profimedia-0904575158-CVR-150x150.webp\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/2024\/12\/11\/van-aert-prepares-for-critical-comeback-season\/\" class=\"image-holder\" target=\"_self\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2024\/12\/Wout-van-Aert-profimedia-0904575158-CVR.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2024\/12\/Wout-van-Aert-profimedia-0904575158-CVR.webp 990w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2024\/12\/Wout-van-Aert-profimedia-0904575158-CVR-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2024\/12\/Wout-van-Aert-profimedia-0904575158-CVR-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2024\/12\/Wout-van-Aert-profimedia-0904575158-CVR-400x267.webp 400w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2024\/12\/Wout-van-Aert-profimedia-0904575158-CVR-272x182.webp 272w\" width=\"990\" height=\"660\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1200px) 300px, (min-width: 768px) 25vw, 100vw\" alt=\"van-aert-prepares-for-critical-comeback-season\"\/><\/a><\/div>    <div class=\"entry-meta\">\n        <a class=\"label label-secondary post-category\" href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/category\/road-cycling\/\" title=\"Road cycling\">Road cycling<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"entry-details\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.welovecycling.com\/wide\/2024\/12\/11\/van-aert-prepares-for-critical-comeback-season\/\" class='entry-title-wrapper'>\n            <h3 class=\"entry-title\"><span>Van Aert Prepares for Critical Comeback Season<\/span><\/h3>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p>First of all, regarding inflation, there are today no fewer than 2,781 billionaires in the world, according to <em>Forbes<\/em>magazine. In the year 2000, it counted only 470. In terms of the effect of oil-rich Mideast nations on sports salaries, again according to <em>Forbes<\/em>, the Portuguese football great Cristiano Ronaldo earned $285 million (\u20ac271 million) in 2024 playing for the Saudi team Al Nassr. This is nearly five times the entire UAE Team Emirates budget.<\/p>\n<p>Second on the top-earning list of footballers was Lionel Messi, who plays for the US team Inter Miami, with $135 million. The lowest-paid footballer on the <em>Forbes<\/em> top 10 list was Kevin De Bruyne, who plays for the British team Manchester City, which is majority-owned by the Abu Dhabi United Group, with $39 million. So Poga\u010dar has a very long way to go before his salary will make our jaws drop. Manchester City has by far the highest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.givemesport.com\/premier-league-wage-bill\/\">annual wage bill<\/a> in the English Premier League: \u00a3205,660,000 (\u20ac248 million, or four times that of UAE Team Emirates). So it will come as no surprise that the club has won the Premier League championship six of the past seven seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Several cycling teams are currently owned and\/or sponsored by business interests from the Mideast, such as Bahrain Victorious (estimated budget of \u20ac25 to \u20ac30 million) and Jayco AlUla (\u20ac15 to \u20ac25 million), co-sponsored by the Saudi Arabian city of AlUla. But, of course, it\u2019s not only the petroleum-rich Mideast states that have injected fresh money into the sport. The past few years have also seen the German retail chain Lidl, the Austrian energy drinks giant Red Bull, and the French sporting goods chain (and the largest sporting goods retailer in the world) commit large sums of money to the sport.<\/p>\n<p>Add to that list the latest deep-pocket investor, Chinese bike manufacturer XDS, which has become part-owner of Astana Qazaqstan, renamed XDS Astana Team, with a massive investment. The team will use the company\u2019s X-LAB bikes as XDS moves to become a global leader in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>This increased funding has largely been very good for cycling, if only because it has enabled the use of state-of-the-art performance-enhancing technology and training methods. It is also bringing more young and ambitious riders to cycling and has certainly increased road speed and drama. The downside is that the increased speed has led to a rise in serious accidents, a development for which technology \u2013 such as an algorithm for analyzing courses to detect likely trouble spots \u2013 will hopefully find a solution.<\/p>\n<p>So, why should there not be a salary cap in cycling? Well, for one thing, say that Remco Evenepoel wants to leave his Soudal\u2013QuickStep team and go to INEOS Grenadiers, which would love to have him. But the team has already reached the limit of its salary cap and would have to drop some of its better riders to afford him. So would some of the other top teams, such as, say, UAE Team Emirates and Visma\u2013Lease a Bike, teams that could help him reach new levels because of the quality of their riders and facilities. But because of the salary cap, Evenepoel would only be able to go to a lesser team and therefore actually hurt his future. In other words, it could unfairly limit his freedom to choose his team.<\/p>\n<p>And if I\u2019m a generous team sponsor and my team is prevented from signing a great young rider like Evenepoel because of the salary cap, I just might take my money to a sport where I can theoretically have an unlimited number of great athletes wearing the name of my company on their jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, there are always ways to get around salary caps legally. Take the case of the American baseball team the Los Angeles Dodgers, who won this year\u2019s World Series, which is what the US baseball championship is called. In 2023, the Dodgers signed the best baseball player on the planet, Japan\u2019s Shohei Ohtani. What makes Ohtani special is that he is as good at pitching the ball as he is at hitting it, which is like a cyclist who is both one of the best climbers on the road and one of the best sprinters.<\/p>\n<p>Ohtani\u2019s 10-year contract pays him $700 million, at an average annual salary of $70 million. However, in 2025, Ohtani will earn a base salary of only $2 million. That is because he will receive most of his salary in deferred payments, meaning that about $680 million will be paid to him over the next 25 years or so to allow the Dodgers to add more high-paying stars to the club, which they did. There is no salary cap in baseball, but if there were, the use of deferred payments could certainly be one way to circumvent it.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion about a salary cap for cycling has been going on for a while now. In 2022, UCI president David Lappartient told Belgian outlet <em>Wielerflits<\/em>, \u201cA budget ceiling or salary cap\u2026 is certainly an agenda item because we don&#8217;t want all the good riders to be in a few teams. There has to be a balanced battlefield.&#8221; But there has been no word on the subject from the UCI since.<\/p>\n<p>Which is good because, for better or worse (and I think it\u2019s for the better), pro cycling salaries will only get higher, and large budgets will only grow bigger as the sport continues to expand globally, such as to Africa, where next year\u2019s World Championships will be held.<\/p>\n<p>And, no, there doesn\u2019t have to be a \u201cbalanced battlefield.\u201d There never is. That just happens to be the world in which we live. The only way to get a level playing field in cycling is if other deep-pocket sponsors get involved in the sport and make \u201clittle\u201d teams big. This seems to be slowly happening and can only make the sport more attractive. In the meantime, the little teams will just have to do the best they can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There has recently been a discussion on the growing amount of money being paid to star cyclists and to the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":99,"featured_media":197492,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[334],"tags":[3544,8225,8226,8224,3415],"global-categories":[3366],"class_list":["post-197490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-socialising-and-culture","tag-remco-evenepoel","tag-salaries-in-cycling","tag-salary-cap-in-cycling","tag-salary-in-cycling","tag-tadej-pogacar","global-categories-cycling"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Should There Be a Salary Cap in Cycling?
