I dont get why the motor thing is laughable, its like some of you simply refuse to believe it no matter what, and no im not insinuating that tadej is the only one, i would venture the entire top 10 is using it considering they have been in use for 17 years by now. The only difference is that UAE is the new postal or sky. Ergo immunity to cheat freely compared to everyone else with better tech and doping.
Get real for a second. How can every climbing time in general and average speed of the peloton be so utterly destroyed year after year, the most doped times in existence smashed like it was nothing. Well by mechanical assistance and doping.
I mean in PR you just have to go back 6-7 years and the winners time would be OTL if he races last years race.
Froomes top level would not even get him into the top 10 at the tour anymore. And he with sky was once of the pioneers of widespread adoption with motors, "shady" backwheels (look into the unbranded backwheels during the mountain stages in Wiggins and froome tours.)
Thing has really evolved and it will get even faster can you believe that.
UCI should have nipped it in the bud when cancellara and breschel was using it back in the day. Now its to late and would destroy the sport forever. So cat stays in the bag no matter what
The previous Antidoping chief in France is certain that motors are used in the peloton, so is lemond. But i guess they are just old and bitter.
For me, it's not that I refuse to believe that there could be motor doping, I just refuse to believe what is presented here as evidence and fact about motor doping, are evidence and facts almost all of the time.
Your post as well presents accusations as facts and then proceeds to make an argument based on these accusations truth being taken for granted. This is just not how truth seeking arguments can work out.
Basically it usually boils down to: oh this looked strange, the UCI needs to be hiding Pogis (or everybodies) motor.
What is true though is that the speeds and watts are going up like crazy, and this needs explanation and the explanations given for it by the teams propaganda are not convincing. But from that it does not follow that whatever else suspicion one has is true.
What we discuss here in the clinic is done in epistemicaly super murky water, so the danger is always to speculate into the wrong direction, and I am not criticizing putting theories into play. That includes motors. But the arguments for that need to be well constructed and the evidence must be something else than, to say it bluntly, that it fits my personal motor-doping-fan-fiction pretty well.
