At one point during a stage (can't remember which one), Phil/Paul were commenting on domestiques and how the rules state that riders can only carry 11 bottles, max. I tried this last weekend, here's what I got:

1 bottle in each cage (2)
1 bottle in each jersey pocket (3)
2 bottles down the back of my jersey (2)
1 bottle in my right hand (1)

That's 8 bottles. Where do the other 3 go? Beats me. FWIW, the domestiques they were showing did not have musette bags.

I've seen a rider stuff as many as a half dozen down his jersey. And don't forget, he might be carrying his own in his teeth too! :)

the record, at another race, is in the 20's. 26 sticks in my head for some reason
