  • He's just emptied himself to win a stage and wants something to lean on, ffs! There's spectators at the barrier and his bike is to hand. His pedal sets the wheel off as it hits the floor. If you think that's a motor then you should go back to physics classes.

    The kid is an 18 year old amateur, widely recognised as one of the brightest talents on the US scene, and you're condemning him based on that clip. Come on.

  • Hey Andy, calm down. No ones condemned anyone here. You take this kind of stuff very seriously.

    Also, teenage amateurs currently represent 100% of convicted mechanical dopers.

  • I am calm. Ish. It's being used as clickbait by reputable cycling media sites, which is just reprehensible in my view. It is so obviously caused by his pedal hitting the ground that to even suggest it's mechanised doping annoys me.

  • She wasn't an amateur.
