Less for a pro. There are lots of ways to make more money. Doing wheelies when dropped off the back helps. There are KOM jerseys, Sprinter jerseys, and taking it easy on one stage to assist your teammate another. Even pro TT stages are not given full gas by domestiques you are expected to help the next day.

But for for the Cat 1 - speed matters more. Few Cat 1 only races are stage races and nobody is paid to help the other. Some organized teams split the purse and will help setup their teammates.

My point about Strava was looking at the actual course that different groups race on. You can see the average speeds of the pack/s. Sometimes speeds are published.
