    bit far fetched to be honest, can't imagine the benefits of carrying around the extra weight, even if it's only 500gms for most of the race for when you need to use it would be worth it, never mind the friction and effort required to have to drive the motor when it's NOT being used to drive the pedals. Also, the thing sounds like a bloody moped in that video.
    If it does exist, it's clear proof that Aliens are living amongst us and giving us new technologies.

    granted the video demo of the engine isnt great noisewise etc, but think of the money in cycling and the dope testing meaning its harder to trick the rider. im sure the big teams could easily develop something light, fast and torque resistant with the money surrounding them.you have to admit the acutal footage of him cycling does look more than a bit dodgy, plus its not like these guys have morals regarding cheating or winning at no cost.

    Sorry, but this is really old news. The video first surfaced over two months ago, shortly after Paris-Roubaix. The suggestion that Cancellara used a motor has been largely discredited since. And despite the bikes used in the Tour being scanned for motors, Cancellara's power was still on display in the prologue and yesterday.

    Lets move on, eh?
