Nobody has ever shown that Cancellara was cheating there. Maybe he's just a monster. When Joop Zoetemelk casually disappeared from the front of the pack in the 1985 World Cycling Championship nobody could believe it because Joop was 40 years old. Nevertheless, he did it, and there was no stealth motor technology at the time.
