Every day at the end of the stage, the jury presents its verdict, with economic fines and yellow cards assigned to those members of the caravan - riders, technicians, motorcyclists, journalists - who commit improprieties during the race.
In the first 4 stages, 6 yellow cards were issued: in total, the fined riders will have to pay 5,100 euros to the UCI for breaking some rules. This ranges from those who urinated in public, as happened to Quinten Hermans, Milan Vader and Jan Maas, to throwing cards or water bottles in unauthorized areas, and some team cars have also been called to order.
Roberto Reverberi, team manager of VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè, was called out twice. The first time for violating vehicle circulation rules during the race - in his case for talking on the phone while driving - and the second for breaking rules about team car distances, though in this case a warning was sufficient.
The riders who received yellow cards are Kasper Asgreen, Bram Welten and Max Kanter in yesterday's stage, Martin Marcellusi and Darren Rafferty in the third stage, and Francesco Busatto in the first stage.
The fight against technological fraud also continues: already 107 bicycles have been examined in these first four stages. It's worth noting that compared to last year, technological fraud checks have significantly increased, and in this Giro d'Italia there have been stages where up to 40 bikes were checked. The control is performed through a scanner, and some component measurements are checked, which must respect certain minimum and maximum parameters.
