    What is the rule on sticky bottle?
    The official rule is not there, but most commissaires say in their head
    ‘one-two-three’: Any longer and this is sticky bottle (taking a tow from the team car). A warning will be given and if it happened again, they can get disqualified.

    I was watching Hell on Wheels last night and it was funny watching the directeur sportif hand out a water bottle. The cyclist would grab hte bottle by the front, the directeur would accelerate the car and hold the bottle for about 2 seconds before releasing it. This happened for all the bottles the domestique took.

    It was funnier while watching 'overcoming' and seeing Bjarne Riis doing it, but taking his cyclist out with the wing mirror!
