Swapping Bottles and Turns TDU23-11
Johan Jacobs (Movistar) reached into his team car to pass of a bottle as another was passed out to him (hopefully from the back seat, since I am seeing two hands come out of the driver's window). Jacobs had been sharing turns off the front with Manuele Boaro (Astana-Qazaqstan). The duo had built up a five minute gap on the following peloton before those behind decide enough was enough. At this point 105 kilometers left to race the gap had dropped to just under four minutes.
