      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 referenced to "lances strange nervous habit of always reaching back to grab his shorts". Look it up. I believe the remote was hidden in the pad if his shorts.

      @brecht1043 2 года назад

      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.

    I crashed in that exact same way as the poor guy on the right. This time it was a big strong 80kg guy trying to dive for the grass verge after a few guys right in front of him went down. 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. Honestly I've never seen a bike do that ever before. Was absolutely unbelievable! I was in hospital for 5days and out from cycling for 5months with many broken bones.

      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.

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?

    It is pretty easy to devise an experiment with a large fan to see how much force is required to move a bicycle like that.

  • @lukaserlt5824
    @lukaserlt5824 3 года назад +13

    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.

    If it is the wind, then why doesn't the pair of sunglasses that are clearly visible in the shot, move even slightly to the right. If the wind can blow a bike that's probably 15 pounds max, then why doesn't it move the glasses, which probably weigh less than 250 grams, at least 1 or 2 feet to the right? As those glasses are bouncing, they're turning end over end, and if there's that strong of a crosswind, then the lenses would get caught in too, just like the bike.

    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.

    To me it looks like the bike (frame) begins to rotate in the same direction as the wheel, which wouldn't happen if there was an electric motor, the frame would be getting force in the opposite direction of the wheel. So for me I am satisfied that this is a freak accident and not evidence there is something nefarious going on. The inertia of both the front and rear wheels appears to be what propels it across the road.

    I thought the race scrutineers checked all bikes for motor doping before the start of each stage?

    • @carlosquin4822
      @carlosquin4822 2 года назад

      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.

    Two points here.
    1 - whilst the bike appears to move perpendicular across the road, the bike is actually crossing the road diagonally towards the direction it had been headed in, but the motocam and other cyclists moving forward make it appear like it turned at a right angle.
    2 - the front wheel is stood up with full contact on the ground, which could strongly influence the direction the bike travels.

    • @E-d1d3
      @E-d1d3 7 месяцев назад

    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.
