Bidon Carrying Riders

once the rider loads up with bidons for his teammates, how does he make his way through the peloton --- is he yelling all the way through "on your left, on your right" or does he just pick his way through?

Great vid, thanks for posting that. You have to feel sorry for the Tour first timers, and the smaller riders who struggle. You can't begrudge them a tow behind the car when you hear they are 60 minutes behind the front group! What a job!

They usually pick there way through - but they try and time it so that the peloton is not travelling flat out.
