I remember when they could just swap wheels and throw bottles

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I think Mavic neutral support used to carry bikes set up for the top 3 riders (in a stage race), and then a couple of bikes with each type of pedal.

The American champion had to stop 100 metres shy of the summit of the achingly-steep climb to swap his trusty Cannondale – which had a problem on the rear wheel...

He should just say he was so confident in the outcome that he got a few test rides in.
