    Early in the clip Cancellara is showing a lot of stress in the upper body going uphill, a sign of high effort. When he leaves Boonen on the cobbled section there is no sign of stress in the upper body. Signs that something isn't right and synonomous with riding a bike powered by a motor.

    Cancellara‘s performance on that hill looks suspicious af. He made Boonen look like a schoolboy.

    The Mandingo line finished me🤣 entertaining vid yet very accurate imo. I remember watching this live, great race
  • To answer your question Durianrider (2:18). Matti Breschel "Red and white" Saxo Bank jersey is the winner jersey of the Danish National Championship 2010. Red and white is the colors of the danish national flag.

    Pretty funny to have an analysis from somebody who clearly doesn't know 'the muur'. Boonen did not bonk there, he just reached the max gradient of the muur. 20% and he sustained 900Watts there. THat's not "bonking' lol. Cancellera supposedly had to push 1450Watts from the saddle to ride away like that from somebody who is pushing 900W. 1450W from the saddle at the end of the Tour of flanders? Nuff said ...
  • Cancellara swapped his bike at least 3 times that race, why? He had no punctures.... Riis was the director.... Banned for life. Another story.... Hirshi.... Cancellara is his manager...1 year he was amazing with 'dsm'.... They fired him....(undisclosed reasons) lol... Since he die nothing... Make up Ur own opinion

    Missed this one DR. Obvious today’s video YT algo took me to this. Did he use a motor Fabian or not ? No hate. Just want to know.
  • @paulvanzweel
    We were watching this one from the roadside back then.
  • ….if something smells fishy it usually is…this wasnt within the ‘normal’ boundries and should of been questioned a long time before…

    Emotor handlebar switch era. Beautiful. ZIP
  • This shit is hilarious. Between the Aussie slang and the biker slang, this dude barely speaks English. Hahaha. Great channel.

    Honestly the individuals on here that can’t see that a motor was used here is unbelievable……. A smoother path ?? He was cramping ?? GTFO I’ve seen WAY to many classics — this is straight bullshit
  • One of the most important clues is how he had his "mechanic" at several points in a stage ready to take his bike and give him a new one, even though there was nothing wrong with his bike. This was seen several times within stages and the same person was always there to do the bike swap and take his old bike away. I guarantee that's what he was doing having someone take the used bike away so that person would remove the seat post battery, remove the wires to the bottle and then bring that bike back to the end of the stage to put back into the team car. This way the UCI would be checking a normal bike. Mechanical doping can be done only with a trusted mechanic since he has to hide the bike, bring it back to the end of the stage to the team bus, remove the bottom bracket, seat post, seat post motor, make it look legit and then put that bike back into the team car in case UCI officials check the bikes at the end of the stage. The key here is the first bike on the start does not have a motor, it is the bike switch where the e-bike comes into the picture. UCI was not checking for hidden motors for many years, so TT's and other races could have hidden motors used if used wisely no one would ever know. The arrogance of Fabian is what seals his fate on using motors, using them going uphill or blowing away from a pack of riders is idiotic and anyone with 1 eye can see what he is doing.

    I read an article about Boonen on that race, And he said he Cramped during the moment Cancelara dropped him 🤔
  • @maxt1617
    At 11:30 Cancellara uses his right index finger to press a small button underneath the right shifter- just where the shifter meets the handlebars- to activate a motor capable of delivering >100 watts for short periods. And this is when he drops Boonen, effortlessly.
  • First he picked a smoother path, the edge has more evenly paved stone. Second he is on high cadence, which later on in cycling more and more rider used the high cadence riding. Third he is on the newest wheels at the time, a carbon 303, later known as the best all around wheels for many years. Of course he stay in saddle for the most part of the climb, this is indeed more efficient on long climb.

    Can you imagine that. I cannot imagine that. Sprinting into bottom ascent for position. I cannot imagine that. Pro is insane level. A lot of energy here DR
  • @Handletaken4
    You should do a video about pro riders on wide smooth streets just crashing out of races. Lots of videos on that
