Giro d'Italia 2026 jury report - Three warnings issued on stage 5
After every stage of the 2026 Giro d'Italia, the race jury publishes an official bulletin detailing all disciplinary actions taken that day. Incidents from stage 2 were reviewed, with fines, time penalties and relegations issued where appropriate. Below is the full list of sanctions issued after stage 2
All the penalties and fines from the 2026 Giro d'Italia
The UCI regulates the Giro d'Italia and issues penalties for rule violations - from feeding outside designated zones to physical altercations. Infractions are published daily in an evening bulletin, listing riders and staff who were sanctioned.
Penalties range from fines to time losses and UCI point deductions, depending on severity. A recent addition is the yellow card system, introduced to address dangerous or unsporting behaviour in the peloton.
A full overview of yellow cards and rules can be found here.
