    Re: Nonsense. IR guns on motorbikes, from cars and at the side of the road have all been seen operational on 3 week races before. Nothing was found hence we have moved back to the x-ray tent which was used a few years ago too. Nothing has ever been found on a grand tour by any method including...

    I'm feeling unfit. My resting heart rate is 3 x higher than Froomes, his being measured at 32 bpm before the start of stage 19 at the Giro.

    Re: Re: Offer money to a retired mechanic or ask the tea leafs who have stolen pro-peloton team bikes in the past. The fact remains there isn't a shred of evidence, that would stand up in a court using beyond reasonable doubt proof, of top teams having used motors recently.

    Re: At one of the one day classics this year there was a post race check using spanners. 32 bikes completely stripped down. Nothing was found. At the TDF last year all the TT bikes were X-rayed including the spares on the team cars. Nothing was found.

    I watched it live and thought at the time Poels probably had cyclocross experience. Faced with an obstacle you don't spin it up but drop a gear and torque it up and over. Notice Poels brace his arms whilst keep his weight back to stop the wheel spinning out. The instinctive thing would be to get...

    Re: Re: FFS be a bit more observant: people do not stand up leaning 30 degrees :rolleyes: Judging speed is difficult. In motorsport a fixed camera position often zooms out slowly as the vehicles approach, pans as they corner then zooms in to maintain the frame. With a helicopter you add all...
