Carapaz, INEOS penalised in final Vuelta stages
Richard Carapaz was fined and docked UCI points on stage 20 of the 2026 Vuelta a Espana, where an INEOS mechanic also received a yellow card. The race jury issued a final penalization to Pinarello following stage 21.
Are the UCI's jury fines for minor infractions like Carapaz's at the Vuelta effective deterrents or just procedural box-ticking with little real impact?
