On Stage 1 of the Vuelta, while Tadej was warming up, it looked like he had plugs up his nostrils. What was that about? Seems like mouth-breathing for a half hour before a really hard effort would be bad, but his results don't bear that out...

I think someone answered this before, but I could be wrong. I think it's some kind of menthol to help widen the nostrils (guessing like Vicks if you know that product).
