In an attempt to crack down on mechanical doping if it exists in pro road races, the UCI has introduced tests for bikes after races. They confirmed that 139 tests were carried out after yesterday’s Omloop Het Nieuwsblad.
“The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) confirms that it has carried out unannounced bike checks at both Men and Women’s Omloop Het Nieuwsblad on Saturday 27 February, 2016, and that no technological fraud was detected,” the UCI confirmed in an email after Cyclingnews had contacted them. “Tests concerned 139 bikes from eight teams participating,” the statement added.
So far, not a single motor has been found in 2016 on the road since the UCI started carrying out the tests.
