There have been lots of rumours of the last couple of seasons.
From Cancellara's Paris-Roubaix acceleration [1] to Ryder Hesjedal's [2] bike "moving on it's own", to even Chris Froome [3] Tour accusation it's been getting heated at the top levels.
The UCI introduced mobile scanning machines in 2010 [4] and this would be the first actual confirmed case.

- mrow84 11y agoFor the video in the second link, I get the arguments about the camera angle possibly being misleading, but it looks pretty damning.
- SixSigma 11y agoYes it is rather. But the puzzle is, why be using power on a downhill freewheel ? Unless he switched the "on" button as he fell. tbh it hasn't done him much good results wise, unless he was using it in the Giro 2012
- jacquesm 11y agoThe pedals don't move, which they would if it was the kind of motor used in the 'Zolder' bike.
