Only if you've never heard of the Colorado river.

Something 'odd' looking about how the bike moves after the crash.
As the rear wheel makes contact with the ground it seems to start accelerating again as if powered by a motor.

Well spotted. When I posted it on the 'Impressive Crash' thread I had no idea what was up. The pole makes all the sense now. I guess understandably he wasnt expecting there to be a pole there when he was riding head down a bloc to hold the wheel in front.Contador is the Greatest0 -

If it was then I'd be asking for your money back. The wheel is turning the wrong way!
Have another look. If the wheel is indeed causing the frame rotation, then it's turning the right way.
But there's no motor; it's just Fiziks.Ben

In no way am I wishing to argue but I just don't see it like that.. If we're talking about the rear wheel and a supposed motor then, as far as I can see, for the motor to be driving the rear wheel causing the bike to go down hill and rotate like that then the rear wheel has to be turning the wrong way.. If we ignore the imaginary motor then of course it's all about the the "Fiziks".. If none of that turns out to be the case then I'll have to put it into the bucket of I don't get it....0 -
Looks to me like these motorbikes are out of control.

No, I'm not arguing either - just pointing out your error. Imagine the bike is fixed to the ground somewhere around the headset (effectively friction between the bars and the tarmac is the same thing). Now rotate the wheel forwards... which direction does the frame rotate?Ben

Surely all that happened is that the momentum of the bike was briefly disrupted as Ryder dragged himself up and unclipped and then it just carried on on its path helped by the downhill slope and the camber of the bend?0

A better example of Betteridge's Law of Headlines you could not find. Basically any story with a question as it's headline is bulls1t and the journalist knows it - but it's good click bait for slack-jawed masses. It's journo code.

Can't believe how this fired up again in the news and all. The sad thing is the majority seem to actually believe there's a motor.
People are so f****** dumb.0 -

+1 - seeing it all over Facebook at the moment as it's been posted on some MTB website as proof that roadies are cheats :roll:0 -
What's shocking about this thread is the evidence we've uncovered that motors are so common in the pro peloton. So many examples of back wheels driving crashed bikes.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0

Best check Valverde's bike. If someone else is doing something then it's odds on Piti will be too.0
