One is the bandage worn by the runner from Movistar at the elbow, another display of strength and cunning that he displayed and, thirdly, the extra high socks he was wearing.
The length of the socks is not allowed in terms of International Cycling Union (UCI), the highest international body governing cycling, which ultimately decided to fine him 200 Swiss francs (just over 210 euros), as revealed by ‘Cyclingtips’, for not complying with UCI regulations, which specifies that the length of “socks should not exceed half the distance between the center of the rider’s malleolus and the center of the fibular head”; that is, they cannot exceed halfway between the ankle and the knee.
