This is ****ed up! Motor doping is very real.

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/mechanical-doping-used-in-strade-bianche-and-coppi-e-bartali-claims-investigation/ I do hope they publish who was using the motors - let the riders and teams refute the claims if they can. Program is on TV later this evening, details in the article.

I heard it last night. I think I'm reserving judgement - clearly in yer man's interest to talk it up (in the first place) if he's signed a big deal with a broadcaster. He wasn't giving much away to Gilroy, except the fact that he'd dealt with Ferrari, which makes Armstrong's reaction on Friday to the questioning even more suspect!

There does seem to be a change in style of certain riders since motor checks came into place though, so definitely reserving judgement rather than dismissing it!

I'll also reserve judgement. "Man who makes and sells hidden motors in unfounded claims case" may also be the headline.
