I wonder if they are allowed to accept bottles from spectators

>>77039006
yes they are.

I think it was one of the schleck brothers that claimed they failed a blood test because they drank a drink from a spectator spiked with PED's

Who's gonna win?

Time for me to make a bottle full of illegal medicines and gives it to Froom in some days when the Tour is coming by nearby

Generally they will only use it to pour over themselves, unless they are super desperate and absolutely sure the container hasn't been tampered with.

They are allowed to drink it, at least by the UCI, but many or all teams probably prohibit it.

I know nothing about cycling, but during yesterday's stage the commentators kept saying that being in a group was helping Froome keep up despite being tired.

How does it help? It can't be like a car racing draft sort of thing, right?

You use a lot less energy when there is someone in front of you taking all the air resistance.

You are getting succ when inside someone's else slipstream.

It wouldn't be the first time the Frenchies do that, they already did it to Ronaldo in 1998.

This. I remember some rider saying it's only for pouring themselves. Imagine someone putting the shitting medicine there.
