"Inappropriate"
Excitement at the Tour de France! A kiss for 200 euros
Julien Bernard costs 200 Swiss francs (206 euros) for a kiss for his wife and child. The World Cycling Union (UCI) deemed the Frenchman's behavior during the Tour de France individual time trial on Friday to be an offence.
On the climb in Curley, not far from his home in Dijon, Bernard had stopped briefly to kiss his partner and young son, who were lining the route in a huge group with family and friends.
The UCI described the behavior as inappropriate and damaging to the image of the sport, Bernard apologized, but also said. "I would pay the 200 francs again anytime to relive that moment. I knew that my wife and friends would organize something on the climb. It was a dream moment. I enjoyed it," said the 32-year-old.
