I doubt that the blood doping and injections of the past are still happening but cycling's (unfortunately) always been at the forefront of doping in sports. The training and nutrition as well as the tech involved in bike design has come on in leaps and bounds however. Link to comment

I doubt its clean, too much money in it - and also doubt the bikes arent "assisted/ebikes", especially when allowed to swap bikes for certain parts of the race etc. Link to comment

The aero benefits these days mean bike swapping is less of a thing than it was, depends on the slope though. Link to comment

They must've forgot to charge his "e-bike" when he swapped bikes. Link to comment
johnstrac Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I'm as keen a cyclist as there is and I'm always optimistic but the sport's shit it's own nest too often for folks to accept things at face value. I sincerely hope Jonas and Poj are above board but those were 2 devastating TT's, although it does seem to have f***ed Poj up. I can't go with the e-bike theory though, too easily detected.
