This isn't just a banned road by tcr now, it's banned by swiss government too, plus tcr made such a big deal about it. So a time penalty isn't enough. If you take it, your a dick or stupid. Can't claim mistake or ignorance here.

I don't know how much of a big deal they made about it. I wasn't there.
I'm just telling you what has happened in the past. Some of their banned roads were stupid. That tunnel I took didn't have a single car in it. The road was lovely. Some local idiot must've got a fright in it and reported it or something.

Depends what rule they put around it.
Do riders using banned roads ever get DQ'd or do they just get moved out of GC and/or time penalty? I got a time penalty for using a banned tunnel one year (I only realised after I'd gone through it and emailed them about it after I'd done it, because if they were going to DQ me, why spend another week riding across Europe).
