Probably not, but if Lance (or anyone else) lost 1 1/2 minutes to a
guy he normally would have beaten, perhaps he should have considered
it. How long is a stop? 20s tops? But my initial point is that if it's
against regulations, then it was too late from the starting gate.

No one in a time trial, no matter how thirsty, would ever stop to fake
a wheel change just to get a drink.

I can think of some LIVEDRUNKARDS in this group who would.

Never underestimate the power of a Radler.
If it wasn't for the multitudinous ways in which it would be wrong and
stupid, I'd use a radler as my hydration beverage in the upcoming Spring
Series TT.
But that would be dumb, dangerous, disreputable, and generally the sort
of thing I don't do in team kit,

Great. Thanks Dan.
Does that mean you can take a bottle from the DS if you're stopped
during a (falsified, if necessary) breakdown?
