So it was a private arrangement with his cousin, rather than an official QS drinks station...? No wonder he took his penalty with just a metaphorical shrug of the shoulders.
Wonder what was in the bottle...some sort of special QS finishing pot?
Seems a very odd mistake to make. I can understand doing it on a day in the mountains where you're at the pointy end and starting to dehydrate but yesterday they had a perfect day for the domestiques to keep him topped up as much as possible and I can't see why a late bottle would have even be needed.
Turns out that the lead car at yesterday's stage was a Skoda EV (based on the new VW EV platform). First time a electric car has been used in that role. Though they are only using it at some stages this year...
Apparently, 30 of the 250 Skodas being used at the Tour this year are electric.
Surprised there hasn't been more talk about what might have been in the bottle...
For that to happen he would have had to sign for Ineos overnight.
I actually think he was handing it back. I suspected he was doping ( although ketone esters were legal ) last year, that would go a large way to explaining his ‘strategy’. Play the ‘nice guy’ everyone loves him, but he’s actually on the Ketone esters ( at least ) and hands the contaminated bidons back before the finish line.

He's in the yellow jersey and is therefore 100% going to be tested at the end of the stage. And you think he's doping mid-race? You'd find a nice home at the Clinic.

There’s no test for K.E. I might have known someone who pushed it as a solution for team G.B. at London 2012. It might have worked well, it might have been employed in some sort of ‘jiffy bag’ at a later event. If it works for the elite British military, it could ( presumably ) work for a national Olympic team, and beyond.

Why not just become keto adapted , MCT oil will provide ketones . Lots of endurance athletes are on a Fat as fuel diet ,- no carbs grains sugars

‘Time and space constraints’ allegedly. No time to do it naturally, no space to get it wrong ( completely allegedly ).

That's because there doesn't need to be. Now, kindly b*gger off to somewhere that appreciates this sort of thing during long awaited racing. Or alternatively, you can take over making these threads and then you can't spout all the sh8t you want.

I was going to ask why it was a safer bet ,? / i don’ t think it is as if you're not adapted it wont help a lot /. Fair enough Blazing - I’m out - and for the record its not cheating any way as any fool knows. And I am definitely a fool!

Ketones aren't banned, so there would be no need for any of this secrecy. I don't believe for a second that's what was in the jiffy bag nor that you haven't made all this up...

Not blaming you in any way for responding. If he wants to talk conspiracy theories about what is essentially non doping doping, all he has to do is set up a thread on it. It's not hard to do after all. Then he can troll up whoever replies, rather than send racing threads off on a tangent to nowhere.

IIRC his brothers rides for DQS or their development team, too.
I assume his Mum is Press Officer, although I might have made that up

And on Twitter, with slowed down and zoomed in replays (not that it was needed):
To suggest otherwise is stupid.
