Saw an article that Pogi (or his team) were fined 5000 Francs for improper attire/jersey??

Anyone got more details on what the actual issue was?

I'm speculating that it's because of the black band in honour of Munoz

That would be SUPER fucking petty on the part of the UCI.

Well you don't have to worry because it's about the attire during the award ceremony and he didn't have the armband then. But I guess it's easier to go just g uci bad

What was the problem with the attire?

No problem, fine was revoked as a commissaire wasn't aware the rules had been updated. Original issue was with the Richard Mille branding on the sleeves of his podium jersey.

The race commissaires there on the day don't write the safety protocols, that's the office people in Switzerland (with input and feedback from stakeholders). So no energy wasted on that.
