Tadej Pogacar and Mauro Giannetti

That would be the motor.

I suspect that also pro riders tried to use motors at some times. I would also not be surprised if the team of Mauro Gianetti has looked into this possibility. But I find it hard to believe that a motor was used at the video above, given all the circumstances.

That would be the motor.

Given the nature of the acceleration, plus also the context which it happened against, I think that’s quite possible. It looks *weird*.

You probably do have to wonder whether such a high cadence actually makes sense physically.
