Sticky bottle sindrome

[Ludwig]

The refs should clamp down on sticky bottle sindrome. This is where they hand a new bottle from the team car and the riders takes half an hour to let go of the bottle. Its a public disgrace. LC

the problem is, they don't have the bottle!

They do occasionally get a telling off but I don't think it actually makes a difference anyway - it only amounts to a few seconds of assistance. The fake rear brake is more of an abuse especially after a wheel change and the mechanic hangs out the window with what David Harmon callls 'the magic spanner'

 

[trustysteed]

it's gut-wrenching to watch.

Did you see the CSC dvd 'Overcoming' when Bjarne 'I don't do drugs' Riis held onto a bottle far too long and the rider trying to pull it free ended up on the tarmac and almost under the wheels!

I so misread it then.
When rich p said "fake rear brake" I actually thought he meant some sort of a fake rear brake.

As soon as I have found where I left the dunce hat, I shall go sit in the corner

Sorry Monty, I should have said 'fake rear brake ache'
or perhaps the News of the Screws could do a dodgy fake sheikh routine on Sir Lancelot!
