Re:
Absolute farce from the UCI after stressing the penalty for Uran/Bennett would stand: In the exact words of @UCI_cycling commisaire Philippe Marien "The feed could have been from anyone, even a small child, still 20s penalty."
But when faced with the evidence of Bardet's bottle, reverses the penalties for all 3, just so the French rider doesn't get punished. I guess if Demare and Sagan had their nationalities swapped, Sagan would've been awarded the win on Stage 4, while Demare is DQ.
