Riders at the Tour de France Femmes can expect more detailed clothing checks before stage 4's time trial after reports that riders may be using additional padding in their bras to gain an aero advantage after the UCI issued a special warning about items "which could modify riders’ morphology".
Wielerflits published a story on Sunday about this potential issue, noting that riders have sometimes appeared to have a larger chest size during time trials compared to road races, and reporting that several WorldTour teams have voiced their concerns over riders' artificially changing their breast size using padding during races.
