Perhaps we need an e-bike racing series.

Maybe he shouldn't have traded in his high end racer for a 1500€ steel Chinese bike with a funny name then started winning races. Every race he started... Against younger promising amateurs...

And there is a lot of hypocrisy coming from french club racers on forums because a few of them use body enhancing chemicals without telling anyone. The ones they order on the internet from the USA for example.

Oooh! My body could do with a bit of enhancement..

I despair. Cheating is one of the most depressing aspects of modern day sport. Plus - this sort of thing can make e-bikes (unfairly) even more of an anathema for the "traditional" cyclist.
