Georgie Hincapie picked up 12 water bottles from his team car during Sunday's stage of the Vuelta. He broke Bob's old record.
How much extra weight was that?
What size were the water bottles? (16, 20, 28 oz. etc.)

Standard size. 16oz?

32 oz is approx 1 liter which is 1kg which is about 2.2 pounds. So 12 bottles / 2 = 6 liters * 2 is about 14 pounds.
Man oh man!

Why would he do that? Is he not the team lead for this race? Or does that matter?
