No sign of motors hidden in bikes
The International Cycling Union says there were no cases of riders using hidden motors inside their bikes on this year’s Tour de France. In a statement Wednesday, the UCI said 3,773 tests “using magnetic resistance technology” were carried out unannounced “prior, during or after racing, throughout the 21 stages of the (race)” and they all came back negative. A magnetic test can detect motors, magnets and batteries in less than 30 seconds.
