I know it is not April 1st, but is this for real? :confused:

bizarre!

I'm pretty sure that every time I go on a group ride everyone else is using hidden motors. Where do I get mine?

If this is found to be true (some one is actually caught with one of these devices), that rider and the entire TEAM should be DQ'd and sanctioned.

The power assist bikes that I've ridden have been HEAVY and obviously power assist. So, I'm not sure you could fit a meaningfully powerful motor in a normal frame and conceal it from others around you.... but who knows.

Either way, the team is responsible for the equipment, and the team should suffer any penalties.

All I know is that I've ridden up the climb that is pictured in the article, with no motor other than one fueled by croissants and coffee. :)

It's true. They caught me.

I read that Contador's Tour bike had been inspected by the UCI and passed with flying colors.
