Friendly reminder that she's the current <23 Belgian and European champ, too. Her excuses read like that of a 12YO caught red handed.

Because women in comp cycling didn't have it hard enough already.

This came up on my Facebook feed, you can easily get powerful motors that install in the frame and turn the BB through bevel gears, but the company's target market is 60+ folks who just want an easier time riding bikes: http://www.cyclist.co.uk/in-depth/542/how-realistic-is-motor-doping

Good morning cyclocross fans!

I hope J-pow has one of those motors tbh. Big crashes already. Who puts two (2) 180s at the start of a race?

All the Vans (Lars, Wout and Mattie) are gone and will not be brought back. They are FLYING.

Lars got away when Matthieu got his foot caught in Wouts spokes. The Belgians are throwing beer at him now.

Its absurd. I see that the team has a chance of being banned because of it? But which team do they ban? The national squad or her normal team?

Having watch the race today, I can 100% say that the Americans were not using motors. Those other teams? Who can say for sure?

What I'm saying is give Stephen Hyde the rainbow stripes until a full investigation is complete.

Wout, there it was. You could pinpoint the moment when Lars knew he wasn't going to bring him back.

Couldn't understand a thing, but poor Mathieu looked unhappy in that post race interview. Love the pristine jersey and muddy face, though.

Powers and Eckmann were 34 and 35. Wonder what happened.

I want to believe that Wout channeled his inner Sven and did the false dismount on that last big hill to hold him up and gap him. Lars and his slow superman remount never had a chance.

The 'friend' in question has claimed ownership of the bike, and that he left it next to the team bus and the mechanics must have thought it was her bike so put it with her stuff. Also because of this her dad and brother (the one suspended for doping) are now up on charges of stealing Parakeets after the shop owner recognised them in the news. What a world.

I saw this video today of her smoking the elite race at Koppenbergcross and it supposedly proves she has a motor in her BB. It's probably by the same nutballs that did the Cancellara and Hesjedal motor doping videos.

The parakeet thing is great.

I am having this vision where Fabian Cancellara crushes everyone this year at Paris Robaix, cruises to the side of the velodrome, pulls off his crankset (which obviously has no motor attached), and beats some human being from VeloNews over the head with it.
