Team mate possibly a bit misleading in my post. There have been various interpretations of who that person was depending on which news outlet is rehashing the interview in Sporza. Alas, as I can't read Belgian, I can't comment on which translation is most accurate. Team mate was implying a non-competitor working for or associated with the team.
Actually if this friend does exist, I wouldn't expect them to now be running around claiming responsibility. I would expect the team to be keeping them under wraps until the UCI investigation has spoken to them so as not to be appearing to try and poison the waters. If I were in charge of communications for a team that had allowed a colossal fuck up of that nature to happen, it's exactly what I would do.

In the interview with her in Sporza, she doesn't blame a team mate - she says it belongs to a friend who had bought it off her at the end of the last season, that said friend was riding with her brother, the bikes were stored in the same truck and the team mechanics, presumably when they were picking up her bike, thought it was one of hers and cleaned it up for the race.
I mean, I still don't know if I believe her, but that's what she seems to me to be saying.
