Overall they're saying she went on a road where bikes are prohibited. That was 12 weeks ago though so surely someone from TCR would have spotted it and dealt with it by now if it was the case.
That said, you ARE allowed to cycle on N roads but not necessarily all of one. I rode one last year in France where for a bridge over a river you rode on the footpath then back onto the road a couple of km later. They say that there were some roadworks so perhaps cycling on the road near Saumur was allowed normally but not in the limited space etc. It's all supposition though.

My French isn't perfect but I think they are saying Fiona took a banned road near Saumur.
