Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Remco Evenepoel (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe) were both smiling on the podium after the Tour of Flanders on Sunday, but the pair were also hit with fines once the race was over. And this time, it was not because of the railway-crossing incident earlier in the day.

The jury report published after the race showed that Evenepoel, along with sports director Sven Vanthourenhout, was sanctioned for a sticky bottle. The Belgian rider was fined 200 Swiss francs, while his team director received a fine of 500 Swiss francs.

In addition, Pogačar was docked 25 UCI ranking points, though that too is unlikely to cause him much concern.

- Can anyone help me understand the thinking behind the two punishments? Are the commissaires saying you get thrown out of the race for a second inadvertent disposal of a bidon (even to the delight of fans) but that as long as you can afford it you can show off your phalangeal cuticles all day long on international TV? Aking for a friend.packfiller7112-03-2026

- They were close to cracking a very tired Tadej that wasn't fully focused on the TdF with a team of riders focused solely on cracking Tadej. And if they cracked him, he would have still won. Tadej won't be racing the giro this year. It'll be an even easier win for him.Veganpotter09-02-2026

- Cracked the code lol. If it was that easy to 'crack the code' jonny Vegas would be charging up the Kwaremont giving Pog a dose of his medicine. Evenepoel can't match pog on a climb and neither can mvdp. Anything with a half difficult climb and Pog smashes the field. Even on flat(ish)parcours like Roubaix it came down to a mistake and crash by pog to definitively crown mvdp. MSR is the only one that Pog probably won't win.kevpt10-10-2025
