Tour post-stage finish drink?
I'm curious what the little orange can Pogacar drinks rights after the finish, seems like I've seen it after the TT and again today. Anyone know?

Looks like Orange Fanta to me.. I think I saw a label to that effect.

It IS orange Fanta. Is that redundant?! I didn't think Fanta came in any other flavors.

I'm told this was confirmed on a recent George Hincapie podcast, The Move. Check the episode covering the time trial.

FROM WBITD, I recall a grape Fanta. It seemed like even more sugar than the orange version.

Yes grape, I think there might have been other flavors as well besides orange.

After a century ride, my buddies and I bought a 6 pack of grape (might have been Crush). It was fermented! We spat it out straight away. Stupid 15 yr olds.

It does look like a mini can of orange Fanta. There’s grape, orange, pineapple, and I thought strawberry, but I haven’t seen that flavor in a while now.

What kills me is they get MINI-SIZED cans! Why don't they just offer them one Thin Mint?!

I don't know about you, but after a hard ride I want a full 12oz. can of soda, and preferably a 21oz. bottle. Don't tease me with that Dixie Cup sized drink!

If you consume a 12 can of orange soda...you immediately turn into a Jugalo. It is known

Wow, I just read the Wikipedia article on Fanta - I had no idea of the history, and variety of flavors it has been made in (more than 100). Apparently, Fanta was started in 1940 to replace Coca-Cola in Germany during a Nazi-era trade embargo with the US:

No I haven't, though Spain would be nice. The concoction sounds horrible. I'll try it next time we have a less than desirable red. We usually have lemon soda on hand.

It's delicious and refreshing. Highly recommend it. Yeah definitely no need to use the good stuff!

Europe packages things very differently from here in the States.

Different sizes and some brands that we don’t see or gave lost.
