Johannes Kulset (Uno-X) was disqualified from the Tour of Slovenia on Friday for repeatedly adopting the now-banned 'super tuck' descending position on his bike during stage 3 from Ljubljana to Nova Gorica.

Kulset could be seen using the riding position with his chest low on the bars and forward of the saddle in a video of one of the incidents.

However, the race jury disqualified Kulset for the descending style which was banned as of April 1, 2021 as part of the UCI's sweeping regulations to improve safety in road races.
