Kaden Groves became one of the first riders sanctioned under the UCI’s new early celebration rule on Sunday, after he fist pumped the air in elation at Jasper Philipsen’s victory at Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne.
The Alpecin-Deceuninck rider was fined 500CHF (£439), relegated to 57th place, and given a yellow card for posting up mid-bunch in his saddle and celebrating his teammate’s win. He originally crossed the line in 10th.
