Re: Mechanical doping: first rider caught
Searched the whole forum and didn't quite find this one being discussed, apologies if it's been posted before. But just...Wow.

Re: Mechanical doping: first rider caught
This video is evidence enough for me, I would convict for mechanical doping if I were on a tribunal.
Unreal....
Wow, that was like a big FU to the UCI knowing full well they wouldn't be caught.MikeTichondrius said:

Re:
I've never heard of him but there's lot's of riders that ride lower tiered races that dope with the best of them. This video hopefully put's him on the hotseat where he belongs.
Can you hear me UCI???
Funny, but in fact that's Daniel McLay. Hailing from Great Britain.sniper said:

Re:
That article reminded me of Contador's PSA how cycling is completely clean shortly before his positive test became public.

Re:
Looks like a headwind sprint.
See Haedo in the 2010 Dauphine for similar example.

Re: Re:
They don't need to. A guy with Dan's massive ability getting past a few second rate sprinters. Nothing unusual there. Workaday stuff to him. Keep watching and hoping

Re: Re:
I know what you're trying to get at but does being in the same race mean that they're all the same standard? Isn't the point of a race to decide who is better either on the day or generally?

I love how the comment from six years ago (!!) says it looks like "mechanical doping".roundabout said:

Re:
Vannieuwkerke said something about "a rumour that a Tour de France was won with a motor", Tom Boonen said he also heard those rumours and a few minutes later Vannieuwkerke asked: "Who won the Tour in 2008?". Boonen replied "Sastre". So it was very clear they were suggesting that the rumours were about Sastre.
It's strange no media picked this up, because it was the first time I heard something about Sastre.
A part of the conversation
Vannieuwkerke: "They speak about the Tour 2008 where it is already used (...) Who won that Tour de France?"
Boonen: "Sastre"
Vannieuwkerke: "That name already circulated in the peloton, no?"
No, it was clearly implied the rumour was about Carlos Sastre in 2008.Jagartrott said:

He seems to point to the fact that his right hand goes to a different position just before he celebrates both hands in the air. From that position he could push a button with his right thumb like Femke seemed to be doing at the finish line. Froomey made a similar move on Ventoux exactly when this picture was taken.

Indeed. Headwind makes moving behind/inside the pack look pretty much like McClay in that video.
