Damn, it's done it again! Maybe it's google translate. There's link to a ''had everybody dimed'' story in a box on the right, and also lower down on that page.

Ah, I see it. It seems hasty doesn't it but perhaps they know more than is being said.

Yes, no hesitation whatsoever from senior people in Belgian cycling.
Meanwhile, the UCI have pulled the race off their youtube channel. I wanted to look back at when she had the mechanical during the race.

6 months minimum and who's going to touch her now?
You're right!

I tried to watch the race after the women's race and it said not available in your country...

The other UCI ones simply switch from live to start from the beginning. But I'm sure there's been lawyers advising. Shame you missed the U23 race. Richards rode it really well. Kept a high cadence on the tarmac not losing time against the other contenders but gaining time on all of them where the going was toughest, on or off the bike.
The Guardian is carrying it now, confirming the finding of a motor.

Would she definitely know about it? Could it be someone had put it in on her behalf? Just as questions rather than trying to find excuses.

Maybe buying this for my next race would be a bad idea then ...

The Grauniad report is suggesting an output of 60 to 100 W. So that could boost my own power by about 30%. I wonder how much it weighs and how long the batteries last. Curious that they launched it in a discipline that requires picking up the weight of it and running with it.
It's odd. Not only do you have to pick the darn thing up but there's a good chance of crashing or mud and water interfering with all the gubbins, potentially leaving you unable to switch it off when you need to carry it or something. Some analysis of Van Driessche's times up the Kloppenburg are now raising eyebrows too.

As is so often the case, INRNG come to the rescue in helping us plebs understand the technicalities, including "six months is the minimum for a non-compliant bike so if someone is caught using an working motor during a race you’d expect the sanction to be significantly more":
