Just removed my tinfoil hat... "Froomey" has been riding what looks like the same rear wheel (durace) for the last few stages (including the one where he had his crisis). Anyway proves or disproves nothing, like most things here I guess...

<first to fixate on the motorbike wins a prize>As soon as the flag was dropped to signal the start of racing, the pace was infernal. We went from a big road to a technical, gravel-covered, small, windy road, with numerous steep pitches.
Everyone was on their limit and a crash in one of the corners caused a split in the peloton, making it that much harder. On one of the risers, riders at the front accelerated behind the motorbike, which did not seem to move out of the way as it should, and from there a group of favourites disappeared up the road.
Then came another split behind, which numerous big names jumped across to.

Dawg needs to go full mutant. Enough is enough. We haven't had an absurd performance from the mid-pack rider since PSM and Ventoux 2013 is becoming like an old claret. Dawg needs to push the button on the handlebars and break 7.00w p/kg.

I love the mad idea that his unmarked wheel is obviously the motorized one.
As if it wouldn't be difficult to make copies of the decals if they really wanted to!

I was so much hoping the new iPhone 7 had thermal imagining built into the camera so would be fans could check for a motor on Dawg's bike. Maybe iPhone 8 can interplay heartrate over the thermal image?
