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 it only a stupid rule because it was applied to a french man in the lead of a french race:okay:
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. :whistle:
Also, the TdF used to be a French dominated race in the past but it is truly international now. :bicycle:

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?
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.
