There have been lots of rumours of the last couple of seasons.

From Cancellara's Paris-Roubaix acceleration [1] to Ryder Hesjedal's [2] bike "moving on it's own", to even Chris Froome [3] Tour accusation it's been getting heated at the top levels.

The UCI introduced mobile scanning machines in 2010 [4] and this would be the first actual confirmed case.

For the video in the second link, I get the arguments about the camera angle possibly being misleading, but it looks pretty damning.

The pedals don't move, which they would if it was the kind of motor used in the 'Zolder' bike.

Yes it is rather. But the puzzle is, why be using power on a downhill freewheel ? Unless he switched the "on" button as he fell.

tbh it hasn't done him much good results wise, unless he was using it in the Giro 2012
