Here's Cancellara winning Strade Bianche this past Sunday: https://youtu.be/X8YJH23dIAc

I think it looks pretty similar in terms of terrain, style, and effort, and it was a win over a tough field. With all the concern about mechanical doping, they checked his bike and there was no motor in it.

Of course there's no way to know what happened in 2010 for sure, but he has shown he doesn't need a motor.

I remember watching Miguel Indurain blow past great climbers without leaving the saddle during the 1990's. His resting heart rate was recorded at 28 beats per minute. The best cyclists are outliers among outliers.

surely indurain was doping, though.

As was every other cyclist back then. Look at the wiki, the guy was a horse.

Yes, Fabian is a beast. While those older videos seem intriguing, he is definitely very talented. But like Lance showed us, you never can tell.
