The Union Cycliste Internationale checked all bikes (184) at Tirreno-Adriatico for mechanical dopin gafter the team time trial, according to Cyclingnews.

UCI president Brian Cookson confirmed that the fight will be one of his goals for the future. "If someone is seriously considering cheating in this way, we will find you."

"We've developed new software that works with an iPad or iPhone," Cookson said. "It clips on and tests for magnetic presence or anything suspicious in the frame or wheels that can lead to more invasive tests."

Cyclocross rider Femke van den Driessche became famous and put cycling in the news for all the wrong reasons. The Belgian was the first rider accused of mechanical doping after a hidden motor was discovered in one of her spare bikes at the 2016 UCI Cyclocross World Championships.
