Hydration systems

[Dennis Vaughn]

I'm not sure if this has been asked yet, but why do the riders not use hydration systems? I know
there may be a weight penalty, but at the risk of sending someone back and losing time and wasting
much energy to catch up, why do the road racers not use it and more off-road riders do? Maybe it's
recreational?

disregard that question. I read quite a heated debate about why in this post, provided almost three
days ago. d
