Forcing a FG rider to fight for a bottle between constantly moving legs instead of just reaching down and forward to an unimpeded DT for every sip is simply Bad Design in my opinion.
After a few hours of that in the TX heat I'd be fitting a clamped on cage on the DT and wondering about the competence of designers who make such a fundamentally wrong choice in what has been SOP on road bikes since H-bar cages went away in the '60's. Traditional hardware choices like where to mount a water bottle cage, what style of h-bars to ride for distance at pace on open public roads and a host of others have been well tested and proven over the last century of club riders getting out and putting in seat time on FG machines in a variety of terrain and weather. By now, what works is pretty well figured out.

No cage mounts on "track-likes"?
Of course not, protuberances are a hazard on the track and drinks are kept on the infield of the velodrome w/ all of the other gear & stuff.
