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.
