Jury & Fines Tour de France Femmes 2026 Update Stage 2 - Dina Boels handed one-minute penalty as commissaires issue 1,400CHF in fines
CyclingSunday, 02 August 2026 at 21:50
With only nine stages at the Tour de France Femmes, a relegation, time penalty or yellow card can carry consequences far beyond the immediate result. Sprint deviations, sticky bottles, feeding breaches and littering offences can all affect stage placings, jersey battles and the shape of a rider’s race.
This live Jury and Fines hub will be updated after every stage with the official decisions issued by the commissaires. From the opening day in Lausanne on 1 August to the finale in Nice on 9 August, it will track every confirmed fine, penalty, relegation and disciplinary ruling from the 2026 Tour de France Femmes.
Stage 1
Press vehicle driver Stéphane Chanal fined 500CHF and given a yellow card for breaching regulations concerning vehicle movements during the race.
DS Christian Kos (Team SD Worx – Protime) fined 500CHF and given a yellow card for breaching regulations concerning vehicle movements during the race.
