When you have to go, you have to go… But it can be expensive, yellow jersey or not. At kilometer 81 of the 14th stage of the Tour de France, run this Saturday between Annemasse and Morzine and won by Spaniard Carlos Rodriguez, Jonas Vingegaard was caught by the patrol. The Danish rider was sanctioned by the jury of commissioners for “unseemly behavior”. Understand, “urinating in public”. Amount of the fine ? 200 Swiss francs, or about 206 euros. No preferential treatment for the wearer of the yellow jersey, first in the general classification with 10 seconds ahead of his Slovenian dolphin Tadej Pogacar this Saturday evening.
It should be noted that the Polish Michal Kwiatkowski, winner Friday at the Grand Colombien, was also fined 200 Swiss francs for “irregular refueling”, while that the two motorcycles which slowed down Pogacar in the Col de Joux Plane are excluded for the 15th step.
