Marca suggesting Hesjedal may have a motor in his bike on the basis of the footage below:

Seems weird that the bike starts turning again after it appears to have come to a stop.

This is just a fast spinning wheel from the descent hitting the ground and spinning the (v lightweight) bike around.

Used to do this as a kid messing around - turn the bike upside down, spin the pedals to turn the wheels as fast as possible then push the bike over and watch it spin around :P
