Cycling's governing body says the fine is for "unseemly or inappropriate behaviour".

Strange. All of the commentators I saw were talking about how that was one of the best moments so far. "What cycling is all about". I believe he was passing through his home town during the first time trial stage and received a huge welcome. He slowed down to wave and receive his welcome and kiss his wife. UCI is going overboard.
