Do we know anymore about where it happened? It's an accepted part of the sport to a) be motor paced by team cars back up to the peloton when you've been delayed after a crash and b) perfectly normal for a recently crashed rider to have his bike checked over by a mechanic as he holds onto the team car.
Both those ruses could've been legitimately used by Demare yesterday.
No doubt. But it happens... I've seen people do it in chopper races.
