Tadej Pogacar came close but was unable to secure himself the Rainbow Jersey on Sunday in Glasgow. Now, the Slovenian has been handed a further blow, being fined by the World Championship race jury.
The reason for Pogacar's fine? "Not respecting instructions of the organizer due to not attending the mix zone after the podium presentation at the start," according to the official decision. Understandably, Pogacar was not fined for missing the post-race mix zone due to him informing the UCI he was feeling unwell and exhausted.
