Must Read This Week
As long as there are eBike sales, there are going to be eBike races to promote them.
Who do you think the UCI represent? The riders? Wise up kiddo, it's corporations selling merch
Still one of my all time favorite videos on PB.
The very last thing you should want is to 'level out' one or more of those factors.
They didn't make it to the end though, the motor went into limp mode.
Shimano said it was the first time they had heard of an EP8 motor having an issue and will do a "repair".
As for checks....
* Pre-race scrutineering... mechanical check. engine diagnostic. Rear wheel rollout (incl spare wheels). Tuning kit search. Then bikes and wheels are marked/stickered
* At call-up.....sticker check. And bikes have to be switched off, and re-booted under commissaire supervision
* End of race.... top 5 bikes re-checked. Plus any bikes "flagged" during the race (tech officials with speed gun on course)
That means you can run the motor forever at 250W and it won't overheat. It's a minimum rating, not a limit on the power output.
Max power and max torque are not limited.
The only limitation is the cut off speed.
Just typing out what was in the UCI tech guide for event. Basically making the point that there are spec limitations. There's pretty stringent checks. And the limitations are such that while equipment is important, it does indeed come down to who can pedal/pilot the bikes around the course the best
And why previous winners have been the likes of Alan Hatherly and Tom Pidcock
If I was designing the rules I'd have them fit a power meter to the battery and tell them there is a max peak power that is allowed to come from the battery and a max total power that is allowed to be delivered to the rider during the race. After the race the data is downloaded and anyone who exceeds the limits is given a time penalty or DQd.
It would then be up to the manufacturers to optimise the motor to make the most out of the available power.
As it currently exists, it's a bit of a joke and a wasted opportunity, imo.
I think we should control the weight too.
With a maximum limit of the bike.
To favor the light category = "cross country".

Damien had a killer battle up the brutal mid-point climb with Hugo Pigeon, who came second to Ryf today.
If these guys are such pushovers, why don't the complainers enter the eBike race, and pick up a rainbow jersey to impress their pals down at the bar.
Take a look for yourself - beginning at 17' 30", the pair do 3.5 mins of hard pedaling across an alpine meadow before the climb begins at 21' 00". On the high speed descent following the climb, you can hear Oton gasping for breath, and the captiion reads: "Listen to the sound of the motor breaking". He isn't talking about any electric motor.
