Gianni Moscon was thrown out of the Vuelta a Burgos on Thursday in the latest flashpoint of his career, though few details have emerged about the incident that triggered his expulsion.<\/p>\n
The UCI race jury cited the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe rider for \u201cimproper conduct and behavior that is indecent and that endangers others.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Italian was slapped with a 1,000 Swiss franc fine, docked 50 UCI ranking points, shown a yellow card and kicked out of the race under article 2.12.007.8.2.1 of the UCI regulations.<\/p>\n
Bahrain Victorious rider Mathijs Paasschens was also cited under the same rule. The Dutchman received a 500 Swiss franc fine, a 25-point deduction and a yellow card, but remained in the race.<\/p>\n
The jury report did not clarify if the two sanctions stemmed from the same incident during stage 3, won by Felix Gall (Decathlon CMA CGM).<\/p>\n
Contacted by Velo<\/em>, Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe officials said \u201cwe respect the jury\u2019s decision and will not comment any further. Our focus remains on the final stages of the race.\u201d<\/p>\n Velo<\/em> also reached out to Bahrain Victorious officials for comment.<\/p>\n Moscon, 32, has weathered a series of high-profile controversies during his career, though he\u2019s stayed out of the headlines the past few seasons.<\/p>\n In 2017, Team Sky suspended him for six weeks after he used racially abusive language toward K\u00e9vin Reza at the Tour de Romandie and required him to complete diversity awareness courses.<\/p>\n In 2018, Moscon was kicked out of the Tour de France and later banned five weeks after punching \u00c9lie Gesbert in stage 15. And in 2020, he was booted from Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne for aggressive conduct after throwing a bicycle at Jens Debusschere after a crash.<\/p>\n Moscon joined Red Bull in 2025 and raced the Giro d\u2019Italia this season.<\/p>\n So far, there\u2019s been no public comment from either team or rider.<\/p>\n 2.12.007.8.2.1<\/strong> \u2013 Comportamiento impropio que poner en peligro a los dem\u00e1s \/ Improper conduct and behaviour that is indecent and that endangers others 2.12.007.8.2.1<\/strong> \u2013 Comportamiento impropio que poner en peligro a los dem\u00e1s \/ Improper conduct and behaviour that is indecent and that endangers others 2.12.007.8.3<\/strong> \u2013 El ciclista se deshaga de basura fuera de las zonas (corredor no identificado) \/ Rider disposing of waste outside of litter zones (rider not indentified) 2.12.007.6.3<\/strong> \u2013 Infracci\u00f3n a las disposiciones reglamentarias que regulan la circulaci\u00f3n de veh\u00edculos en carrera \/ Breach of regulations or guidelines concerning vehicle movements during the race [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/velo.outsideonline.com\/road\/road-racing\/gianni-moscon-kicked-out-vuelta-a-burgos-new-controversy\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/velo-cdn.outsideonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-2289021129.jpg”] Andrew Hood Updated August 7, 2026 03:33AM Gianni Moscon was thrown out of the Vuelta a Burgos on Thursday in the latest flashpoint of his career, though few details have emerged about the incident that triggered his expulsion.
