It is safer to do the handups like that to maintain position at the front of the car caravan and so the rider doesn't have to negotiate half of the cars with a jersey full of bottles. A prime example of a legitimate fine is one I saw where Rock Racing's Kayle Leogrande was dropped after a wheel change and could not chase back. Their mechanic hung out of the rear window with a cone wrench feigning a brake adjustment while the DS hit the gas to push him forward. Despite this technique he still couldn't chase back on plus they got a 200 Swiss Franc fine. Rock only finished 2 guys out of 8. Their good team are all over in England. 3 teams finished all eight - Rabobank, Sparkasse, and BMC. “Sticky Bottle” handups are standard and usually won’t be flagged by a judge unless it is at a suspect moment – i.e. a guy has been dropped and is using the bottle to chase back on.
