The Frenchman was accused of accepting unauthorised repairs to his bike in the final 20 kilometres of the 196-km leg from Ponferrada, according to a statement issued by the International Cycling Union (UCI).
He was also relegated to last place in Friday's race and his team manager Manolo Saiz was fined 200 Swiss francs ($US136-$A160) for permitting the repairs.
Jalabert is now 10 minutes 08 seconds behind his team mate and race leader Alex Zuelle of Switzerland but adjustments to the overall standings will not be made until after Saturday's stage.
