Saw this article about the UCI scanning Tour de France bikes for motors -
and then checked out the video.

I'm kind of in shock...Did Cancellara have a motor:)? I cant stop laughing.

Hell, maybe I'll get into racing next year. Throw in the Gruber and I can compete.

I think most folks would call this 'adding fuel to the fire'.

To do it, OK.

To publicize it, stupid.

I have seen, and I believe.

The cameras actually caught Spartacus actually SHIFTING with the SRAM's actual double-tap lever.

Is that actually legal?

:rolleyes:

The UCI should just go to the Calfee "spider" design and then there would be no need to scan the bikes. :D
