There is speculation that Cancellara used an electric motor hidden in his frame to win two races this year. BTW, I want one of these bikes…

A video posted on different websites appears to show Cancellara pushing a button on the handlebars of his bike during both races.
The system is available," Museeuw said. "I saw it at a bicycle showroom at Las Vegas last year.
“I don’t know if Cancellara used it, but when you see the video on the Internet, you can see that Cancellara makes a strange move twice. He also changed his bike twice. So even if I don’t believe he cheated, it can be suspicious.”
Museeuw also believes such a system would soon become common knowledge if it was being used by professional riders.
“It would be impossible to keep the secret,” Museeuw said. “And I also think that it would be too risky for the bike manufacturers. It would be too dangerous for a brand like Specialized (Cancellara’s Saxo Team supplier) and for a rider like Cancellara.”
Cancellara has dismissed the rumors about him as nonsense.
“It’s so crazy that I haven’t anything to say,” he told Swiss media this week. “I don’t feel like spending much time on such a stupid story.”
Asked about the matter, seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong said he was “sick of answering” the question, while his team sports director Johan Bruyneel told reporters the story was “typical from our sport.”
“I don’t give any credibility to this thing,” Bruyneel said. “Cancellara has been targeted, but I don’t think it’s possible.”
