The Tirreno-Adriatico crowned this Sunday Roglic is a cousin as the new winner of a stage with shocks. On Sunday morning the UCI published a series of penalties for breaking the rules during the sixth stage and among those affected were Mikel Landa.
The UCI fined him 20 seconds, 500 Swiss francs and 50 UCI points for misuse of the course. The Spanish runner was using the pavement which was not part of the course due to the narrowness of the road when the attack began.

This penalty, added to a very tight general classification, meant that Landa fell to tenth place in the classification before the final stage. However, Bahrain cyclist Victorious appealed and the UCI overturned the penalty so that Landa, after a tough seventh day, finished seventh overall.
Along with the player from Alava, other cyclists were also punished such as Van Aert, Zimmermann, Teunissen, Hugh Carthy and Vermeersch, which caused a certain atmosphere of hostility on the part of teams and directors towards the latest steps of the UCI in terms of points. “UCI fines are falling out of nowhere this year,” he said lefeverefrom Quick Step, to Het Nieuwsblad.
