Bit of DNA testing on the saddle. If it's only hers then case closed and no appeal.
Yeahbut the mechanic must have fitted the saddle to it then...etc
Thing is, she can follow the rabbit warren of denial as far as it goes. The bike wasn't used. They can sting her for having it, and having it in the pits, but she wasn't caught knowingly riding it in competition. As far as I know. Maybe I'm reading the wrong reports?
Not that this helps her ultimately - it looks like game over in terms of career which is very sad regardless of guilt at that age.
Motorised bike hadn't been used, apparently.
Nobody would have suggested she'd been 'helped' up that climb, three months ago, until Saturday when motorgate kicked off.
I'd love to see pictures of the bike - like @andyp and @hovis suggests if it's set up for racing, her team colours and her contact points, then it's going to be pretty damning.
If it doesn't tick the first two of those points then there's still room for doubt.
