The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) confirms that it has carried out unannounced bike checks at La Méditerranéenne on Friday 12 February, 2016, and that no technological fraud was detected.
Tests concerned 90 bikes from six teams participating.
These bike checks used the same type of equipment which the UCI trialled at the 2016 UCI Cyclo-crossWorld Championships in Heusden-Zolder (Belgium) where a concealed engine was detected. Thisequipment enables those performing the tests to investigate large numbers of bikes, both frames andwheels, in a short period of time.
The UCI has invested considerable time and financial resources in this area and trialling new methods ofdetection is part of its commitment to ensuring its tests are as robust as possible. Intelligence has also beengained from active engagement with the industry and other information given to us which has enabled usto refine and improve our testing.
The UCI will continue to test significant numbers of bikes in unannounced tests in all disciplines throughout2016 and beyond.
