Ben O'Connor was fined 1000CHF and was stripped of 20 UCI points yesterday. At first it was announced in the
race report that he had arrived at the podium celebrations late. Then, it was confirmed that this was his own mistake; and a video shows the moments of him arriving again, clearly angry before the day's podium.
The ceremony was delayed because of the race leader. Journalist
Daniel Friebe confirmed that O'Connor did know he was the race leader and had to attend the ceremony - after initially being unclear due to the small gaps - but that he believed it would take place down the mountain. Hence, the Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale rode down by bike, before having to be driven back up.
