The race management again hit the UAE, the Slovenian received a penalty and a yellow card

The UAE Team Emirates cycling team received another fine and a yellow card during the second stage of the Tour de France for violating race regulations. The incident involved Boštjan Kavčnik, a mechanic from Slovenia, who was fined 500 Swiss francs and given a yellow card for providing unauthorized assistance to cyclist Isaac del Toro, whose support vehicle had failed to notice his technical issues. This was not the first time Slovenians were penalized at this year’s Tour de France—other cyclists, including Pablo Castrillo and Jose Joaquim Rojas, were previously fined for using sticky bottles. Additionally, Andrej Hauptman, the sports director of Tadej Pogačar’s team, was also fined and given a yellow card for breaching rules related to vehicle movement during the race. The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) introduced the yellow card system in 2025 to address dangerous driving and rule violations, with two yellow cards leading to a seven-day competition ban.

I can't remember when a team or an individual has dominated the Tour as much as this year's UAE and Pogacar
