  • But the rule isn't clear whether the offence is in simply taking a bottle, or actually drinking from it. I mean that's fairly fundamental.

    And the most fundamental thing they need to do is get some ex-pros as commissaires, as the Sagan debacle showed. The race really misses him.

  • I think any confusion there was my fault, I thought the rule was about consumption, so a rider could take a bottle and pour it over their head. But it's clear, you can't take a bottle from anyone in the final 20 kms.

  • Well I saw the same debate on Twitter: Bardet wasn't sanctioned because despite taking a bottle the commissaires couldn't be certain he drank from it. Allegedly.

    It's just a bit daft. C'est la vie
