Although I strongly agree with you, and I strongly doubt this report, the story is that they change bikes during the stage. There's no limitation on changing bikes for mechanicals or any other reason. So the hypothesis is, they don't carry the dead weight. They change to the electric bike just for the Muur von Geerardsbergen or whatever.
