Tadej Poga\u010dar<\/a>‘s victory celebrations were cut short at Li\u00e8ge-Bastogne-Li\u00e8ge<\/a> on Sunday after the race jury handed him a hefty fine of 5000 CHF shortly after the podium presentation. The fine was outlined in the official race communique directly following the event on Sunday.<\/p>\n

However, the fine was later removed with the World Champion’s team, UAE Team Emirates-XRG, telling La Gazzetta dello Sport<\/a> that it had been revoked.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The UAE Team Emirates-XRG rider initially was said to have violated Article 1.3.072.6: World Champion Equipment for the “wrong place of the publicity on the world champion jersey during the award ceremony,” according to the official race communique. This was later changed, and the fine was removed.<\/p>\n

Poga\u010dar produced a masterclass performance to win Li\u00e8ge-Bastogne-Li\u00e8ge for the fourth time<\/a> in his career, finally dropping worthy challenger Paul Seixas <\/a>(Decathlon CMA CGM) on the C\u00f4te de la Roche-aux-Faucons with 13.9km to go and riding solo to the finish.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman hung on for second place while Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) won the chase-group sprint for third. The three riders celebrated their successes on the podium.<\/p>\n

At the time the initial race communique noted the fine, it was unclear what the specific issue was with his jersey, as Poga\u010dar had worn it on other podiums this year. The race jury and the UCI had offered no other explanation at the time of writing.<\/p>\n
