Accounting for inflation, Lance is the highest paid cyclist ever *including* sponsorship as he had massive deals with Trek, Oakley, Nike to name a few. He probably made 20M a year in the height of his fame in the 2000s
Only way to get salaries up is to have a proper revenue share like other pro sports. TV/media revenue, merchandising, ticket sales (where you can sell tix), etc.
I really wonder if Girmay can keep his performances going. African athletes dont have the best track record when it comes to staying committed after cashing out.
The “problem” with cycling vs other sports is that if you ask anybody about who is the super star from F1, NBA and football they will at least name one from this sports (most probably Ronaldo and that’s why he is so valuable). If you ask about cycling people will not know or reply Remco, because of the gold medal and don’t know who is Pogcar. I’m a triathlon guy and it’s the same…and despite this is a video a about cycling, and triatlhon having cycling , most of the people seeing this video can’t name a top athlete (perhaps a retired one…) If im right press like 😂
@@Amsterdam417 Let’s be honest here, the reason he gets all the hype is because he is black. Look at any other successful sprinter that earns way less money than Bini while doing it for way longer like Tim Merlier and Jonathan Milan
@@jonathanjc1131Bro..you know if u r black what hurdles you have...it is not coz he is black...it is coz he has been performing well for more than a 2 year
Subscription done from Bini's fan from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Didn't Wout sign a lifetime contract with Visma?
He sure did.
He did
I was just thinking the same thing
Thank you for that !
Super Happy for Girmay
What about historic highest salaries? I read that even Armstrong was paid 5 million a year back in 2005, and what was cav earining in his prime?

Pog is worth at least double that. I want to see him crazy rich at the end of his career, he deserves it.

Bini Bravo ❤🇪🇷💪
Congratulations Bini and well deserved champion 2.3 million will be double in the next season with God willing!!
let's keep it simple, 1 and 2 from Slovenia, reminder only 2 mil. population
Subscription bini 1.from Eritrean
$44000 a year is really low for the work that they need to put in.
If the Tours/ base of cycling was in US, their salary would be in tens millions.

Bini ❤
You forgot that Froome is allegedly on 5.5 million euros/year.
African history maker Bini well deserved

Bini the hero
There's no way Bini could be paid that much. 🤣
😅😅😮 2
And why is that?
Someone is both racist and jealous! Two crimes in one!
Like you paid him from your pocket lol
@@10RASDidn't you watch the video . There are WAY beter riders who whould earn more . If Yates make 2.7 there is NO WAY bini is earning 2-3
What heppend with the money when they are doped after a few years?
"The African peter sagan" 😂😂 That's a strech! Come on, this guy is no near peter sagan, this is an insult for peter the terminator sagan!!!
Real I am african but thats a crazy statement
Yeah no way Bini is in the top 10 . Sorry but there shouldn't be false hype . He is great but stil needs time to get more results
He is top 10 because he accumulated his own points. It is not given freely
@habtet. This is a top 10 earnings list . He is not on a team thats going to pay a top 10 salary
Binis salary is the GDP of eritrea😂
Bini is overrated, there are so many people who deserves his spot in the top 10
Spot is related to points accumulated. Bini is there because of his accumulated points this year!
He's the most underrated rider in the peloton, but I'm sure he doesn't get paid that much.
are you crazy

Vingegaard that high on the list is crazy.
I mean he is kinda the 2nd best stage racer (this year), and the best in 22 and 23
