Gatorade Team Sky Green BottleGatorade offers chance to win Team Sky Green Bottles... and releases bidon's eye view film (+ video)
Team Sky and Gatorade are giving fans the chance to win one of 100 bidons that will be used in the forthcoming Tour de France, signed by riders taking part in the race. The sports drink brand, owned by PepsiCo, has also released a quirky video starring Team Sky rider Alex Dowsett and one of the distinctive green bottles the British outfit uses.
To enter the competition, you first need to get your mitts on a free Team Sky Green Bottle that Gatorade is giving away with the purchase of a 350g canister or 12 ‘stix’ of Gatorade 02 Perform Powder. You can search for stockists by postcode via the Gatorade website, or simply buy online there.
The website also has full details of how to enter that competition, for which you’ll need the nine-digit code that you’ll find inside that free bottle.
As for that video, here's a bidon's eye view of how it is picked up and used before being tossed aside by Team Sky's Dowsett. Like many team's these days, Sky's bottles are biodegradable... although of course during races, many are picked up as souvenirs by eager fans.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Nah, he just chucked the bidon.
nice - but did he crash?
I can see the other guy taking a fall all right, but it looks like the team Sky rider goes down too, at the end?
