Bike doping?
This video has been making the rounds lately, suggesting that Spartacus’ recent wins at Flanders and Paris-Roubaix might have more to do with technology than physiology.
Now, I’m no Fabian-fanboi, but to me, he’s been one of the really consistent performers the last few years and I want to believe in his ability. While watching this video, I can’t help but notice the way that it’s been edited. What’s with the cuts between the shots of the shifters and the cranks? Haven’t they heard of the whole ‘no camera tricks’ technique of taking one continuous shot?
In the mean time, I’m not really convinced by this video.
Doesn’t commissaires/UCI check over the bikes before the races?? If it really is true a simple x-ray immediately after a win would stamp this out pretty quickly….
But I want one for my commuter!
