Vincenzo Nibali is set to collect a one million Euro bonus from his Astana tram if he wins the Tour de France in Paris on Sunday.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Shark of Messina has clause in his contract with the Kazkhastani team, assuring him of the special bonus. Nibali signed a new contract after winning the 2013 Giro d'Italia and earns an estimated four million Euro per season.

CF? AC? MC? TB?

There isn't any list. I only know Sagan, Contador and Nibali do have (or will get) a salary of 2 million +.

I have read somewhere Purito earns between 2 and 2.5 milion a year.

Evans must have been a on a good salary after winning the Tour and before. Cancellara must be getting well paid also Froome.

True, just as Gilbert and Hushovd.

Do you know? Are you sure?

Sagan signed his contract for 2013-2014 before the tour 2012.

I doubt anybody would give him those money before the Tour. I tent to believe he was one of the the most underpaid person in the peloton.

Yeah you're right. He signed his contract before the Tour of 2012. I was confused because i read a lot of news during the years where he and Cannondale were talking about a better contract and salary issues.

But if he signs with Tinkoff, he will reach that amount of money, and probarly even more.
