This is a photo caption from the same article:
"Un coup d'etrier pour le motocycliste. Après avoir trinqué à la victoire, il repartira la gourde pleine."
Does this mean he'll pass the bottle on, or that he'll set off feeling better, or something else entirely? Thanks.

he'll set off with a full bottle
meaning he will have a full bottle to drink from when he's back on the road, to keep him going maybe. Nothing else to it, it's no expression or proverb or anything.
