Re carapaz and his fuelling, I also find it super weird. I don’t place any blame on the rider because, of course, they are racing in a high pressure situation where mistakes are inevitable. However I would say it is the job of the team to develop strategies that help minimise the likelihood of those errors… surely at the very least the DS could send regular reminders out over race radio reminding everyone to concentrate on their nutrition strategy. I have a 15 and 30 minute reminders set on my watch for long races.
