Pogačar was initially fined 5000 CHF for a jersey publicity violation after winning Liège-Bastogne-Liège, but the penalty was later removed following clarification from UAE Team Emirates-XRG.
The fine stemmed from alleged improper placement of publicity on his World Champion jersey during the award ceremony, though the jury and UCI provided no further explanation.
Pogačar secured his fourth Liège-Bastogne-Liège victory, dropping Paul Seixas on Côte de la Roche-aux-Faucons, with Remco Evenepoel finishing third after winning the chase-group sprint.
