Lizzie Deignan: Net Worth, Salary, Contract, Hands, FTP, Husband
One of British Cycling’s greatest success tales is Lizzie Deignan, who rose through the ranks to become a formidable force in women’s cycling on the track and, in particular, in road racing, where she won the prestigious world championship title in 2015.
Net Worth:
Lizzie Deignan is a well-known cyclist, and according to Wikipedia, Forbes, IMDb, and other online sites, her net worth is $1.5 million as of 2022.
Deignan also won the road race at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, and she won the final and overall competitions of the UCI Women’s Road World Cup twice, in 2014 and 2015.
Deignan took home the silver medal in the road race at the 2012 Summer Olympics. In 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2017, she won the British National Road Race Championships four times.
Salary:
According to the UCI website, men’s WorldTour teams must pay their riders a base salary of €40,045 this season, while women’s WorldTour teams must pay their riders a base salary of €20,000.
The UCI is also developing a proposal to equalise the basic wage for women in WorldTour teams with that of men’s ProTeams, with a beginning salary of €20,000 in 2021 and a ceiling of €27,000 (employed) in 2022.
Lizzie Deignan makes €20,000 year, minus sponsorship, endorsements, and prize money, according to the information provided. Deignan is said to earn at least five figures annually from these.
Contract:
Lizzie intends to carry on with her professional cycling career and compete for Trek-Segafredo after giving birth. She has a new contract that runs until 2023 and 2024.
Deignan became the first woman to ever win a “triple crown” of all women’s Monument classics in 2021 when she won the first Paris-Roubaix Femmes in addition to winning the women’s versions of the Tour of Flanders and Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
She has won the Strade Bianche Donne twice and The Women’s Tour, the most significant stage event for women in the UK.
Hands:
During her historic triumph at Paris-Roubaix Femmes, Lizzie Deignan’s hands were so badly damaged from the cobblestones that the handlebars were stained with blood.
The riders traversed 17 sections of pavé throughout last year’s 117km circuit as heavy rain fell.
With more than 80 kilometres remaining, Deignan attacked on the first cobblestone sector and finished alone.
FTP:
On September 24, at the UCI World Road Cycling Championships in Yorkshire, England, Chloé Dygert, a 22-year-old American who had never competed in Europe, outran the sport’s top female competitors to win the elite time trial gold medal.
On the 30.3km route, Dygert finished ahead of second- and third-place finishers Anna van der Breggen and Annemiek van Vleuten by more than 90 seconds. It was the biggest victory margin in a World’s TT history, and the two Dutchwomen weren’t exactly slouches. They both have won the biggest races for women’s cycling during the past five years and are both former world champions.
