The commissaires were making a point on the intermediate sprints, they are on narrower roads than the finish and any transgressions will not be tolerated. Yesterday was their first opportunity to lay down the law, it's like a ref booking someone for the first bad foul of a football game, it's all about the tone.
The Devil's demise came about when he started getting sponsored and French TV decided not to give air time to his non-Tour sponsors. Having stood next to him, just be thankful smellovision is a fantasy.
