Cycling Rich List 2025: Here are the 10 highest paid cyclists in the world
It's one of the most gruelling sports there is, but if you manage to become one of the world's top cyclists then you'll not be worried about paying the monthly gas bill. While the prize money on offer doesn't match the likes of tennis or golf , Tadej Pogačar still earnt €500,000 for winning the Tour de France last year. Unlike many sports, these competitors earn the majority of their cash from being paid a salary by their racing team - a figure they can then bolster with money-spinning advertising and sponsorship deals, personal appearances and shrewd investments . Here are the top 10 highest paid cyclists in the world in 2025. 1 . Tadej Pogacar - €8 million The red hot favourite for the Tour de France, Slovenian rider Tadej Pogacar, is the best paid cyclist in the world - with an salary of around €8 million. He's already won three - in 2020, 2021 and 2024. He's got plenty more years of big bucks ahead too - he's under contract with the filthy rich UAE Team Emirates until 2030. | AFP via Getty Images Photo Sales 2 . Remco Evenepoel - €5 million Belgian Remco Evenepoel has won a saddlebag-load of trophies, including two UCI world championships, an Olympic gold medal and a European championship. His victory in the 2022 Vuelta a Espana was the first Grand Tour win for a Belgian since 1978. Soudal-QuickStep are thought to pay him around €5 million a year. | AFP via Getty Images Photo Sales 3 . Primoz Roglic - €4.5 million Slovenian cyclist Primoz Roglic has won five Grand Tours since turning professional at the relatively late age of 23 - a record tying four Vuelta a Espanas in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2024, and the 2023 Giro d'Italia. Signing up to Red Bull-Bora-Hansgroe gave him a big pay rise, to about €4.5 million. | AFP via Getty Images Photo Sales 4 . Jonas Vingegaard - €4 million Danish racer Jonas Hansen won the 2022 and 2023 editions of the Tour de France and is the only person who stands a chance of beating Tadej Pogacar in this year's race. UCI WorldTeam Visma–Lease a Bike stump up around €4 million a year to keep him on their team. | AFP via Getty Images Photo Sales

Centrica profits halve on lower gas prices as it books nuclear writedown
Lower commodity prices have halved operating profits at Centrica and forced it to book writedowns on its nuclear and gas businesses. The FTSE 100 energy group said that adjusted operating profits fell 47 per cent to £549 million in a 'challenging market'. Its British Gas supply arm was also hit by lower demand in the warm weather. Centrica booked a £123 million impairment on its stake in Britain's nuclear plants 'as a result of reduced actual and forecast power prices, along with an update to operating expenditure assumptions'. It also booked a £78 million impairment after bringing forward the estimated closure date for its Morecambe gasfield 'as a result of lower forecasted gas prices'. It has not disclosed the planned closure date. These one-off charges, which are excluded from the adjusted operating profits, contributed to Centrica recording a statutory first-half loss of £69 million, compared with a profit of £1.7 billion in the same period of 2024, although the change was primarily driven by swings in the value of derivative energy contracts as a result of accounting remeasurements. Despite the weak results, Centrica said it would pay an interim dividend of 1.83p per share, up from 1.5p per share this time last year. Shares in the company, which have risen 12 per cent over the past year, were up 1¾p, or 1.1 per cent, to 160½p at Thursday's close. Centrica is best known as the owner of British Gas, which was Britain's biggest household energy supplier until being overtaken by Octopus Energy this year. Profits at British Gas fell 15 per cent to £133 million as it took a £50 million hit from the unusually warm weather curbing demand, more than offsetting the benefits of a 1 per cent rise in customer numbers. This week Centrica confirmed a £1.3 billion investment in the Sizewell C nuclear plant due to be built in Suffolk, taking a 15 per cent equity stake. It already owns a 20 per cent stake in Britain's existing plants and profits from this business fell 52 per cent to £107 million in the first half owing to lower power prices. Profits for Spirit Energy, Centrica's North Sea business, fell 39 per cent to £150 million on lower oil and gas prices. Profits at Centrica's energy trading arm collapsed by 72 per cent to £65 million. 'Our physical gas and power trading business, which typically profits from price dislocations, has faced short-cycle volatility driven by wider geopolitics, tariff news flows and soundbites, with speculative capital disrupting fundamentals,' Centrica said. The group also owns Britain's largest gas storage site at Rough in the North Sea. Having originally shuttered the facility as uneconomic in 2017, it partly reopened it in 2022 during the energy crisis and has been lobbying the government for subsidies to fully reopen it and, in time, convert it to a £2 billion hydrogen storage facility. Rough fell to a £26 million loss in the first half of the year, compared with a £53 million profit a year earlier, and Centrica warned that it expected that 'Rough will make an adjusted operating loss towards the upper end of £50 million to £100 million this year, a situation which is not sustainable as we move into next year'. • Cold snap triggers gas injection from largest storage plant Chris O'Shea, Centrica chief executive, said it had not been refilling the site this summer as there was too little difference between summer and forecast winter prices. He said it would cut its losses as much as possible by producing the gas remaining in Rough this winter, but there would only be about 10 to 15 million cubic feet in the site to produce, about a third of the volume that was produced last winter. 'What we're not going to do is to increase our losses by putting more gas in that we'll lose money on,' he said. O'Shea said Centrica had been 'engaged in constructive talks with the UK government on Rough', describing it as 'a vital strategic asset for the country', and welcomed a promised consultation on gas storage. 'We're ready to redevelop the asset as soon as we get the right framework in place, but we can't keep this option indefinitely,' he said. 'So we're asking the government to move at speed.' The British Gas owner has called for its larger rival Octopus Energy to be barred from taking on new customers after failing to hit financial resilience targets. O'Shea said it was 'outrageous' that Ofgem had not placed such restrictions on all three companies that had fallen short of the minimum capital target that came into force at the end of March. He said it was 'criminal' that the regulator was allowing a situation that he claimed was 'increasing the chance of systemic failure in the market'. O'Shea denied his comments were 'sour grapes' after Octopus overtook British Gas as Britain's largest supplier in January and said he simply wanted regulation to be 'fair and evenly applied'. He said Octopus's accounts showed a shortfall of more than £1 billion compared with the target. Ofgem's financial resilience rules were introduced after dozens of poorly capitalised suppliers went bust in the energy crisis of 2021-22, costing households billions of pounds. Ofgem has not named the three suppliers falling short of the minimum capital target but Octopus has confirmed it is one of them and Ovo is the only large supplier to decline to answer. An Ofgem spokeswoman said: 'The financial resilience of the energy sector has improved significantly. Our financial resilience controls are clear that where a supplier is not meeting the capital target but has a credible and agreed plan in place, that is not a breach of the rules.' She said the plans did come with restrictions and it was monitoring to ensure suppliers adhered to them. An Octopus Energy spokeswoman said: 'This is yet more naked self-interest from British Gas. We fully comply with Ofgem's rules and our resilience meant we not only thrived through the energy crisis but bailed out Bulb. Thousands of British Gas customers join us every month because we're simply better.'

Trump signs executive order to rein in ‘chaotic' influence of money on college sports
Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order prohibiting 'third-party, pay-for-play' payments to college athletes, a move the White House says is intended to curb the booster-funded bidding wars that have upended the landscape of college sports in recent years. The order asserts that recent court rulings and a patchwork of conflicting state laws have dismantled long-standing NCAA rules, creating what it describes as a 'chaotic environment' that threatens the financial stability and competitive balance of collegiate athletics. It marks the most aggressive federal intervention yet in response to the rapid commercialization of college sports, particularly in football and men's basketball, where top programs now spend tens of millions of dollars to attract and retain athletes through name, image and likeness (NIL) deals. Under the new directive, schools would be expected to eliminate any third-party NIL payments used as recruiting inducements, while still allowing fair-market compensation for legitimate services such as brand endorsements. The order also seeks to protect women's and non-revenue sports, directing athletic departments to preserve – and in some cases expand – scholarship opportunities and roster spots in programs that don't generate significant revenue. Starting with the 2025–26 academic year, schools with more than $125m in athletic revenue are urged to increase their investment in non-revenue sports, while schools with $50m or more are required to maintain existing levels. The president's order points to growing disparities fueled by state-level legislation, including the more than 30 states that have passed NIL laws, and warns that the resulting imbalance has created an 'oligarchy' of wealthier programs that can simply outbid rivals for the best players. It also cites rising concerns that runaway NIL spending is draining resources from Olympic and educational sports that form the foundation of America's athletic system. 'Absent guardrails to stop the madness,' the order reads, 'many college sports will soon cease to exist.' In addition to targeting NIL abuses, the executive order: Calls on the Department of Education, the FTC, and the Department of Justice to develop enforcement and regulatory plans within 30 days Directs the Department of Labor and National Labor Relations Board to clarify the employment status of student-athletes in ways that prioritize educational benefits Instructs federal agencies to use Title IX enforcement, funding decisions, and litigation strategy to protect the long-term viability of college athletics Encourages collaboration with Congress and state governments to advance a national framework The order highlights the outsized role that college athletics play in US Olympic success, noting that 75% of athletes on the 2024 Olympic team were current or former collegiate athletes, and argues that preserving a broad base of non-revenue sports is essential to maintaining America's international dominance. While the order outlines sweeping federal priorities, it remains unclear how many of its provisions will be implemented in practice, particularly in the absence of new legislation. Still, the White House insists the move is necessary to restore fairness and stability to a system that it describes as 'drifting toward professionalization'. 'College sports are not, and should not be, professional sports,' the order declares. 'A national solution is urgently needed before it's too late.'
