Yep, the Cancellara is much more circumstantial though he does take off at a fair old lick on the cobbles. Shame that any performance like that now makes me suspicious (thinking of countless Armstrong times). I'll try and find the footage of Van den Driessche; didn't realise her brother also has history and whilst that doesn't necessarily implicate her, it does cast doubt on family values...

She makes everyone else look like they've stopped.
I've gotta admit the idea of new miniturised motor technology changing the face of road/x-country biking does, for me, make cycling a more attractive proposition (for personal pleasure not competiton). Or is motors in bikes already 'a thing' among recreational bods?Bit like how tech developed in the pressure of warfare eventually filters down to civil/personal pleasure uses.
