Swiss Stefan Kung was penalized 500 Swiss Francs (499 Euros) for a conduct against another rider on the second stage of Tour de France, Roskilde to Nyborg.
Kung (Groupama FDJ) was sanctioned after he was involved in an “assault” incident with a rider of the EF Education team (Ruben guerreiro), about forty kilometers from the finish. The TV images show that the Swiss touches his opponent’s helmet without moving beyond.
He was also sanctioned by the jury with a 20 point withdrawal from the UCI ranking.
