Re: Moto-fraud: first rider caught
I'm just saying, even if something is glaringly obvious, in procycling it rarely leads to action let alone sanctions.
Froome glaringly obviously did not go from donkey to racehorse on marginal gains or grey area drugs.
He glaringly obviously did not have Bilharzia or asthma (let alone both at the same time).
He glaringly obviously faked the 2007 Fax.
He glaringly obviously used a motor on the Ventoux.
Now you sort of seem to be arguing that it cannot be a motor control he's using in that clip because it would be too obvious? That doesn't fly.

Last time I checked there's about 0.001 percent chance of getting caught with a motor.
*Edited by King Boonen: Please don't imply that riders have been caught using motors when they haven't.
Please also don't imply you have any idea what the risk of getting caught with a motor is, or that it has much to do with my post. My post said it would be hard to imagine some dial on the brake hood, as part of a motor, would be massively risky since it would be obvious to anyone looking at the bike.
I didn't say having a motor was massively risky, if you read, you can see that I make the point about some obvious external dial. Seems fairly straightforward logic to follow if one is so inclined.

No, it's me stating the obvious about other riders and race officials.
