They could have just used this clip with Cancellera vs Boonen.

Funny, Sagan has a sense of humor that's for sure.

That's funny and true, I'm often passed by tourists on electric bikes around climbs by the GG Bridge, I give them a thumb up anyway.

I love seeing the older crowd going places on E Bikes they would not normally be able to.

The last time we rented bikes on a tour in Netherlands, my wife got an electric Raleigh. We were riding the trails in the dunes at the Nord Zee coast and when she would accelerate to pass riders, I was laughing because I would have to work to catch her.
I could see that bike in the commercial actually win the race.

There is a fellow who is local to me who builds e-bikes that have achieved well over 100 mph. In NJ, there is no need to even license or insure them yet as they still fall under bicycle classification.

With his "bikes" you are not talking about beating Sagan but even beating a top of the range racing motorcycle from 20 years ago. Crazy torque.
