* When there is a scale of sanctions, the commissaire must take into account any extenuating or aggravating circumstances, including: 

- The level of the team of the licence holder involved (club team, UCI WorldTeam, etc.); 

- Whether the sanction follows a warning; 

- Whether the licence holder has already been sanctioned for the same infringement during the same event; 

- Whether the infringement afforded the licence holder an advantage; 

- Whether the infringement led to a dangerous situation for the licence holder or others; 

- Whether the infringement happened at a key moment of the race (final kilometres of the race, feed zone, intermediate sprint, etc.); 

- Any other extenuating or aggravating circumstances according to the commissaire’s judgement. 

** When concerning a “penalty in the points classification”, the number of points deducted is a percentage of the points allocated to the winner of the stage in question. When concerning a “penalty in the mountains classification”, the number of points deducted is a percentage of the points allocated to the first rider to reach the summit of a climb of the highest category in the stage in question. The penalties are rounded up to the nearest whole number.
