Talk:2009 Giro d'Italia, Stage 12 to Stage 21

Leaders sharing "unheard of" in Stage 16
The claim came from the Universal Sports broadcast of the stage. I don't really care too much about the claim in the article, but I'm mostly just curious - does it actually happen with any frequency? I wouldn't have thought so. Nosleep break my slumber 00:21, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's already an old question, but when you asked it I didn't know what you were talking about, and I still don't know. --EdgeNavidad (talk) 08:29, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * As I wrote up the recap for Stage 16, I mentioned that the heat made it so riders all over the race shared drinks with one another, including in the lead, which was "unheard of" (the exact words of Universal Sports' Todd Gogolski, who is probably notable for an article if I ever get around to it). Severo removed the claim saying that it was unsourced and that it wasn't that unheard of. Nosleep  break my slumber 05:10, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
