During a race when cyclists get thirsty. A person from their own team, sitting in a car, delivers water bottles to them. Taking advantage of this, the cyclists use the extra momentum from the car to increase their speed.
This is actually legal as long as the transfer of the bottle takes only two or three seconds. This bottle is referred to as a “sticky bottle” because, during the handoff, both the cyclist’s and the delivery person’s hands remain in contact for a moment.

I dont know anything about cycling but seems like cheating for an advantage to me
Just because it cost 70k doesn't mean it worth 70k.
Its called fuel injection. Oh oh sorry that was that armstrong drug dealer guy. Sorry guys my mistake
To me is cheating
It doesn't "increase their speed".
Passing the bottle from Bugatti 👀
You mean when they get tired ? 😂😂😂😂😂
Fking floor it for those 2 seconds lol
Whatever… Legal doesn't mean is right.
Or they’re just gay
No bro it's so that it's easier for them to receive the bottle..
I do this every time I grab my coffee from the drive thru. Not sure why I get starres
That’s illegal you’re disqualified if you do this
What about when they need to pee?
why dont they..
just bring more water.
and its mandatory
like 2liter water for own drink😅😅
Get some Ikea meatballs instead
Skip than 😂😂😂😊
Is it me or is the first one Singapore !?
Hey!! That’s cheating
Touchy touchy touchh
The car in 2-3 seconds: F1 mode 😊
So did they removed the people stationed holding up the bottle for the cyclists to get it
That’s called cheating
Cheating everywhere
I know many people are only seeing this in one side just as narrated in this video … but 3 seconds are also for safety reasons….the rider must be sure he is not loosing his balance from the momentum during handoff ..
Stop yapping broo
Everyone in comment know nothing about cycling but tell that its cheating, and people who say carry two bottle-extra bottle adds weight which slower the speed
Getting thirsty at every uphill climb
This Sticky Bottle is Done at the back of the peloton or a group of cyclist, The rule is of you want a water you must raise your hand so that the commisaire will see you and will call your team car…
Then what do cyclists do when they have to take a piss?
2-3 sec = 5-10sec when no one’s looking 😂
They hydrate to prevent getting thirsty.. If a pro cyclist gets thirsty he/she is not doing things right
Cheats
I’ve always thought this was overrated. If you’re racing 90-180 miles, how much does 2 seconds of assistance make? Now, over two seconds, you’re CHEATING. Go train some more.
So cheap
So in total, this is glorified cheating that's allowed. What a joke of a sport
But this is not a right way
