The 2025 Tour de France will implement a yellow card system for rider misbehavior. This initiative seeks to enhance disciplinary measures through in-race cameras and UCI commissaires. Yellow cards may be issued for various infractions, including celebrating teammate victories or unsafe riding practices. If a rider receives two cards during a race, disqualification and a seven-day suspension may occur. Accumulating three cards within 30 days can lead to a 14-day suspension. The first suspension under this system occurred with Oscar Riesebeek, who recognized his misconduct during a race.
The 2025 Tour de France will implement yellow cards for rider misconduct, allowing for disciplinary actions against behaviors like celebrating a teammate's win or aggressive riding.
Riders can face suspension based on accumulating yellow cards, including disqualification after two cards in a race and potential 14-day suspension for three cards in 30 days.
Oscar Riesebeek was the first to be suspended under the new yellow card system after receiving two cards in a short period, reflecting on his wrong behavior.
The system's enforcement involves interpretation, raising concerns about consistency in sanctions like the rules surrounding the duration of 'sticky bottles'.
