Did I see...

...a Caisse d'Epargne rider sling a Credit Agricole feedbag on his back during this morning's stage? Could've sworn I did, anyone else see that?

I suppose that probably happens on occasion (grabbing a random bag from the wrong guy), but I've never seen it before.

I think I saw that too.
Contador also waved and smiled at the camera.
What has Fabian started?
It's all good.

I have also seen team cars hand out drinks to riders on other teams. Hopefully in the spirit of sportsmanship, but it does look impressive to see that in this sport. You don't see it in very many other sports.

There's a picture of David Millar wearing a long-sleeve Astana jacket (or jersey?) at the time trials at Albi somewhere. I guess he got caught in rain and it shows someone from the nearby Astana crew putting an Astana jacket on him. Did a double take because it was such a counter-intuitive sight.

Edit: Found it, it is from Pez Cycling:

rules state that riders on different teams can share just about everything except bikes and spares.

Food, clothing, drinks are all OK, swapping bikes or changing wheels between rival teams will be penalised.

However, neutral support (Mavic trucks) is allowed to all, of course.

Kloden was wearing specialized/gerolsteiner shoe covers in the first time trial
