Ghost in the Machine

Episode 2 - A Hidden Conspiracy?


Listen Later

Host Chris Marshall-Bell heads to the Aalst, the hometown of Femke seeking answers... is she the real victim in all of this?



n January 2016,19-year-old Belgian cyclist Femke van den Driessche was caught with a collection of wires, motors and batteries buried deep inside her bike at the Cyclo-cross World Championships.


She was then suspended for six years and bore the wrath of global media as the only rider ever to be banned by The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) for having a motor in her bike, despite numerous previous suspicions of other competitive cyclists that have never been confirmed or disproved.


Eight years later, Chris is on a mission to reveal the truth around motors in cycling as he peers beneath the surface of sports' most incredible discovery...and beyond.
