Julien Bernard was one of the great protagonists of yesterday’s time trial at Tour de France. The Lidl-Trek cyclist received an impressive tribute as he passed the time trial in his home town. Some photos that have excited all cycling fans and highly commented on social networks.
A moment that reminded of what was experienced last year at the farewell of Thibaut Pinot, when he passed through the ‘Virage Pinot’ in the 20th stage of the Grande Boucle. Bernard, visibly moved, encouraged all the onlookers and even stopped to kiss his partner who was holding their child. At the end of the episode he wanted to thank his followers for their support in a message on social networks.
A few hours later the ICU made an official sanction for the French cyclist for “inappropriate behavior and damage to the image of the sport.” A punishment that earned him a fine of 200 Swiss francs but he took it with good humor.
“I’m sorry UCI for having damaged the image of the sport but I would pay 200 Swiss francs every day to be able to relive that moment,” said Bernard, who also joked after the publication of the Uno-X Mobility cyclist. Magnus Cort Nielsen. The Dane published several photos of himself climbing the Galibier and stopping to kiss and chat briefly with his wife. “What a joke. I was lucky they didn’t notice me a couple of days ago,” he said.
Bernard answered cheerfully. “Actually that’s two kisses so you should be fined twice.”
