Martin and Dumoulin fines salt in the wound for Jumbo-Visma
After Primož Roglič's expected Tour de France coronation was ruined by an unbelievable ride from rival Tadej Pogačar to take yellow just one day from Paris, there was only more bad news for
Jumbo-Visma on La Planche des Belles Filles.
In addition to that devastating blow, the team copped two 2,000CHF (£1,699) fines after
Tom Dumoulin and
Tony Martin were found to be in violation of UCI regulation 1.3.064.
That rule states that former world champions may wear rainbow bands on the collars and cuffs of their jerseys, but the ex-world TT champions' long-sleeved skinsuits instead featured the bands midway up their sleeves.
The pair of fines will hardly register in the wake of Roglič's barely believable loss, but still, the reprimands are salt in the wound on what was a disastrous day for the Dutch squad.
