“I truly believe that motors were used to win bike races” - Greg LeMond, three-time winner of the Tour de France. In January 2016, 19-year-old Belgian cyclist Femke van den Driessche was caught with a&nbsp;collection of wires, motors and batteries buried deep inside her spare bike at the Cyclo-cross World Championships. She was then suspended for six&nbsp;years and bore the wrath of global media as the only rider ever to be banned by&nbsp;The&nbsp;Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI)&nbsp;for having a motor in her bike, despite numerous&nbsp;previous suspicions of other competitive cyclists&nbsp;that have never been confirmed or disproved. Eight&nbsp;years later,&nbsp;Chris Marshall-Bell is on a mission to reveal the truth around&nbsp;motors in cycling as he&nbsp;peers beneath the surface of&nbsp;sports'&nbsp;most incredible discovery.&nbsp; Chris will unpick a tangled web of bizarre misdemeanours, claims and counter-claims.&nbsp;From&nbsp;jail time, bankruptcy and&nbsp;death threats to carnival cat costumes&nbsp;and one daring canary theft - this story is set to keep listeners on the edge of their seat.
