so uh Team Sky…
“The 2015 Tour de France featured two time trials, stage 1 in Utrecht and stage 9 from Vannes to Plumelec, which was a team time trial event. Without specifying which stage, CBS claimed that French authorities told the programme that Team Sky were the only team with bikes significantly heavier, around 800 grams, than the other 21 teams.
A Team Sky spokesperson reportedly told CBS that “during a time trial stage bikes might be heavier to allow for better aerodynamic performance”, and that the team had never used “mechanical assistance” and all bikes were checked and cleared by the UCI.
For Greg LeMond, this should have raised ‘alarm bells’, particularly with sources telling CBS that the UCI wouldn’t allow authorities to separately weigh Team Sky’s wheels.
“This is curable. This is fixable. I don’t trust it until they figure out how to take the motor out. I won’t trust any victories of the Tour de France,” said Greg LeMond, who has suggested the UCI use more thermal cameras to find the hidden motors.
