      50,000 inspections. Zero positives. Only .positive , ever, was with infrared in a u-23 race...... They all use motors. Probably every big rider, in every race. There are even obvious "burn outs" where a rider doesn't pedal, but the rear tire throws up dirt......but no prosecution for it? If one world tour rider goes down for this, he squeals, and it becomes obvious the whole thing is staged ....identically to nascar and formula one. It's a literal circus on wheels. It has little to do with merit. As long as you climb to the top 100 euro riders and satisfy a market demographic, they will choose some races for you to win. Just like nfl. Every game is scripted and modified based on vegas betting odds, and finding a captivating story. Most of the revenue that comes in is from betting. I don't even believe pharma doping works, but it's just a part of the culture, and pharma sponsors riders....... - but electric motors do make you faster. And the motors are used everywhere. A wireless activated hub motor would only require a button under the bar tape.....and a wheel swap.......and give say, fifty watts for twenty minutes. More than enough to decide a split in a race.

He always reaches back to pinch the top of the pad in his shorts with his left hand. Even the late Paul Sherwen made a comment about it during the beginning of lances 2005 prologue ride.

    Ive seen this happen when the all the doping craze was still going really strong some years ago. I was in the front of the pack in a local race and then a crash happened, turns out one of the bikes went from one side of the road to the other almost like someone was still pedalling on it, I didnt see it but the race was immediatly stoped because the back of the group that saw that immediatly started complaining and we had already gone through some climbs so we were about 25 on that pack and the testosterone was all over the air. The organizers took that bike with them and the dude couldnt even continue because he got seriously injured so everything good and a cheater got justice right? Wrong, that bycicle wasnt modified, and that magic act actually happened.

      The problem is that it's not only about the wheel... Moment of inertia (mass x velocity = constant) and conservation of energy (Kinetic energy + Potential energy = constant) are most important and so is the wind which you sadly can't measure anymore. The friction between the tire and the asphalt is maybe the only thing you can measure but still that is different with other conditions. So to be honest I am pretty sure that you can't really do anything to test if it's true. The only thing that can check for sure if there was a motor inside the bike was the UCI at that moment.

His bike skated right the way over the other side of the wet road on its side where I went to miss the crash. 99/100 I would have missed his bike by 5m's.

      Right, that's what can cause a very light bike to careen sideways into and across the road -- the rider pushing off to dive away from the road. No indication of a motor. If I pushed off the rider to my right (I wouldn't) and he didn't resist I could make his 150 pound body move a few feet into the road, so obviously I could make my 12 pound bike fly across the road.

    Judging by the way that the bike is moving, it appears to be either dragged around by the front wheel or spinning around the rear wheel. The first case seems unlikely to be caused by a motor since the wheel is actually going backwards. The second version also seems quite unlikely since a bike lying on its side hardly puts any pressure on the rear tyre. Also the cranks don't appear to be spinning as the bike is moving as far as I can tell from this footage.
    The most likely reason for me seems that the front wheel in its upright position does catch the wind in an unfortunate matter.
    Either way, the UCI should take the bike apart, if only to relieve fans from doubt.

      Yes the UCI Commissaire can immediately scrutineer a suspected bike after a race like they do in motorsports racing. In F1 racing the cars are immediately inspected by scrutineers to detect if there was any illegal modification made.
      I remember at my local stock car racing circuit events there are creative ways to cheat the rules. Like the air intake tube size where the engine sucks in air is limited by regulations. A race team was caught by scrutineers using an illegal metal tube material that expands by a few millimeters due to high heat which gives them a slight marginal advantage in performance. But when the air intake tube limiter cools down to a cooler temperature, the size would shrink down in size to pass regulations.

    Wind could not force a bike across the road like that and there was no echelon in pack indicated a very high right angle cross wind. It seems the rear wheel was in contact with the road and driving the bike, kinetic energy with no rider would dissipate way before the bike could cross the road and strike the other rider with such force: something doesn’t add up ?

  • @1CVill
    @1CVill Před 2 lety

    I am not quite sure, this looks really od. the bike crosses the road - could be possible, but afterwards the bike jumps in the air catapulted by the rear wheel - thats more of a concern.
    Nonetheless the solution is quite simple, nameplate all bikes in the peloton with a tag, that cannot be removed. any bike can be controlled afterwards with xray etc.

    You can plainly see the wheel still turning with what appears to be geared force behind it. Why does the UCI or whomever not xray each bike by the rider prior to the race and any extra bikes the team has? This would eliminate it totally. They can't use an excuse of that would take too much time either. Bikes are checked after mechanics set them up day prior, then locked away until race time for the riders.

    Theres no doubt that rear wheel had motor drive to it. I've done amateur races and they also make similar messes, especially now with the general handling quality of pros of late days are messy, but regarding the crash, who are they thinking the BS of the light carbon rim having Momentum to drive the bike like that is a joke. I used light alloy tubulars about same weight and heavier than the wheels seen in races now, and you NEVER saw bikes get powered across the road like that. The guy that gets taken out from that dirty bike should sue the cheat rider. And new tech is needed to sniff out the motors.

      They do not check all bikes, only the bike that is started during the race. Watch Fabian "Motor" Cancellera switching up to 4 bikes per race even though there is nothing wrong with them. He has someone from his team at certain locations ( within the crowd) and this person takes the bike away so no one takes a look at it. This was seen in many races and it was clear he was switching the bikes due to the battery on the bottle pack running out. After UCI starting scanning the bikes where is Fabian now? He disappeared right after they started doing the seat post scans. The switching of bikes during races with no flat tires, no mechanical problems is highly suspicious and UCI needs to take the swapped bikes, not the team mechanics. All swapped bikes should be handled only by UCI staff.
