We noticed that a few T-Mobile guys had the same on their bikes. Perhaps allergy meds for severe allergies like bee stings? Never noticed them before, ever.

Perhaps their cache of banned substances.

T-mobile guys may carry some equipment related to their 'live transmission' of HR and cadence data (sponsored by SRM)...

During every stage you can follow it on this website:

Just a thought... ;)

Actually from what i have heard he has a highly advanced propulsion system inside....






Basically the wheel then connects as part of the drivetrain and voila extra speed :D

According to Cyclingnews, the saddlebag has a transmitter which sends heartrate and power meter data back to the teamcars. Several teams are using them.
