- The number of ways data could be faked is frankly staggering
- Drafting is huge
- Since drafting is huge, to win you often have to just "unstick" the rider behind you from your wheel, then stay on his pace for the rest of the distance. So you only need a very short burst (10-15s of effort) where a few watts will make a great difference. That's hard to detect.
- In a climb, everybody will ride differently (different lines, levels of power) due to body shape, current objective, available draft, etc... You end up with insufficient data to reach the level of certainly that would be needed to accuse someone of motor doping
Overall, it's just simpler to just scan all the bikes.
