Rider Urška Žigart, who finished eighth on GC, was penalised 100 CHF plus 20 seconds, 5 points in the UCI rankings with her first yellow card of the week, for sheltering behind, or taking advantage of the slipstream, of a vehicle. Her team director Danielle Christmas and the driver of the car, Michel Geerinck, were also penalised by the jury for same infraction, which were second yellow cards for each in the same race.
