    Wow. In my world that is way worse than using PED's.

    My cycling friends have been talking about these for years. They told me that infra-red scanners were being talked about where they could see a heat source in the frame as the riders went by. As far as they explained it to me, the motor doesn't operate all the time like how I had assumed. It just gives a really tiny boost on the pedal strokes. Really adds up over a long distance though. They thought they were more of an issue than doping recently.

    Sweatypants I am so smart! S-M-R-T... I mean S-M-A-R-T!

    yea i don't know a single person who is not super picky about having their own bike with their own setup/ergos that they've developed, and that's at the non-sense level of seriousness/amateur level for riding/racing. i can't even imagine at a world cup level.

    unless her personal bike(s) got lost in her luggage or she broke one in half and just needed to be in the race, i can't picture anyone wanting to ride somebody else's shit. bullshit.

    :stupid:
    I really doubt that a world class competitor would want to ride anything but their custom 1 off frame that has been set up just for them.

    What a fucking joke this sport is becoming.
     
  10. I've been hearing about these for a few years. It wouldn't take much to make a difference. Glad it's somewhat exposed now.

    My guess is that tech inspection will be a little more thorough now. :D

    If you are a top rider on a team, you have between 3 and 5 bikes set up for you for any one race.
    Same specs for all of them.

    The micro-motor is, in my opinion, way worse than doping.

    Did she do it? Probably.
