Hmm, surely they aren't short of frames though? I'm with (EDIT) @tbc on this...

I didn't get andyp's comment on this subject?
The problem was the damage done to crank & power meter, not the frame from what I gathered

I wasn't completely serious, I was going for more of a satirical tin foil hat cycling conspiracy theorist comment, but...
Apparently Zeeman had been offered the chance to have his own team's mechanic do the disassembly and didn't take it up.
Yellow jersey and stage winners' bikes are always tested, but cranks aren't always removed.
Maybe Zeeman didn't like the way they took the cranks off (too rough?) or maybe he didn't like the insinuation being made by them removing the cranks when that's not common practice.
I find either of those more plausible than the idea they've actually gor something to hide.
But I also really hope that's true because I would definitely like to believe we're watching a credible tour.
If Jumbo Visma are cheating despite having a superb team then what's the point?

Zeeman says he lost it when the UCI official insisted on disassembling the bracket of Roglic' bike himself and consequently damaged it at the inspection
I think I can understand his feelings.
