Motor Dope

Yeah, coz if anybody needs some extra wattage, it's Cancellara:




This is like a conspiracy theory gone wrong.

This makes me so angry. I mean, this is absolutely ridiculous. First, how can you cover up the noise-- did you hear that thing in their demo? Second, they think it's suspicious that Cancellara could accelerate while seated? He's the time trial world champion/most powerful professional cyclist. He can do that. Third, the "suspicious hand motions" look like he's shifting-- probably to a bigger gear-- which explains his acceleration. Last I checked, that's what you do as you spin out of one gear. Oh, and apparently this thing gives an extra 50 watts, but ups bike weight to around 21 lbs. Would you give up 6 pounds on a course like Flanders? and wouldn't the UCI find a 21 pound bike a little odd at weigh in when everyone else's bike is right at 15? Unbelievable.
