Tour de France Femmes 2025: All the yellow cards, fines, and penalties

The Tour de France Femmes is underway, and with it has come the return of the jury report, the daily update on punishments doled out to riders and teams throughout the race.

Each day, the UCI commissaires at the race cast their eye over the goings on in the peloton as the race makes its way across from the Grand Départ in Brittany to Châtel, Alps, from July 26-August 3. The eagle-eyed jury can spot a sticky bottle or a rider illegally littering from a mile off.
