Sticky bottle 

Term used for a cheating technique in a bicycle race where a competitor is handed a hydration bottle out of a team car, but both people hold on to the bottle for a while allowing the rider to be towed along by the car for a few seconds instead of having to pedal.
Bradley Wiggins was struggling up a climb but Peter Sagan sticky bottled his way past. I don't know whether the judges caught it.
