Why can't they wear the socks they like?
UCI is a peculiar organisation
If you haven't I recommend a fantastic book "The Hour" about one man's struggle with UCI

Nah the sock length one I agree with...imagine a peleton with all different length of socks ? It would look ridiculous

Is there a reason why they can't eat / drink when they want then? Is there a rule about "calls of nature" too?

I'm pretty sure in a stage where it's usually a fast finish it's dangerous to pass food/bottles as you can imagine.

The plot thickens it's was Allaphilipes cousin and coach who passed him the bottle

Hope the bottle was not jiffy at all

I don't understand this stupid rule. Why can't riders eat / drink when they feel like it ?

is it only a stupid rule because it was applied to a french man in the lead of a french race

Not at all. I was referimg to all riders. Alaphilippe won't be worried about a few seconds, he can get them back later, Yates is no threat to the GC.
Also, the TdF used to be a French dominated race in the past but it is truly international now.

yeah , i can see every other rider making it really easy for him to regain 20 seconds.

It’s a sensible rule and one that has been applied to the maillot jeune before. It happened to Froome when he bonked on the Alp.

Is it that you can't eat/drink or that you can't take on anything to eat/drink In the last 20km?

Imagine a marshall approaching Tom Dumoulin mid-dump ( phaaaaaaarp ) and handing out a fine notice

At least he would have had something to wipe with

So riders are concentrating on the road and not trying to catch bottles at high speed.Even a falling bottle in that scenario can bring a lot of riders down.
They knew the rules so it's fair game to me.

Looking promising that Movistar can actually win something here at the Tour ? Joint top at the mo....
