A bike, exactly to match hers, has a motor in it and is in the pits at the very highest level of the sport. Because a cyclocross pit is not chaotic enough without all your family and friends adding their bikes to the maelstrom.
I imagined she was using the bike because she had mechanical issues with her own. But you guys are probably right.

Plausable, but highly unlikely.

Given how easy they are to detect I doubt we'll see anyone trying to use these again, at least at a high level. Does seem like the sort of thing which could effect lower level races though. If someone's prepared to risk their health and reputation through biological doping I'm sure they'd be up for installing an engine in their bike.
