What about the BERTIE bike swap late in a sage?

last months World Cyclocross event confirmed that riders are willing to put a motor in a bike to help them win

It was alleged that Cancellara used something similar a few years back in Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix.

Always worth keeping an eye on riders who make a lot of unexpected bike changes  (change on to a doped bike during the race and then change back on to a normal bike before end of race)

There were some allegations about team members getting left on the side of the road with bikes. Also allegations about Ryder Hesjedal and the wheel that seemed to speed up after a crash. Personally I think the Cancllara stuff is big on innuendo and low on facts, and without wishing to draw any unwanted comparisons to you know who, I'd be more inclined to believe it if it was some nobody who came from nowhere to win a couple of high profile events before disappearing.

It's probably happened, but it seems old tech now. Contador is doing something suspicious with his bike changes, something that may or may not be illegal but he doesn't want the UCI to find out. I can't remember if it was the Tour or Vuelta where the UCI announced a bike change to the team owners and without hesitation Contador jumped off his bike on a downhill and took another.

Mechanical doping isn't his bag so to speak..
