Allegations of motorised doping have been fired against Wout Van Aert in the media for the second time inside a month after an incident during Krawatencross.

Spanish newspaper AS asks whether world cyclo-cross champion Wout Van Aert is using an illegal hidden motor in his bike. “Van Aert’s bicycle is again raising doubts about this strange rear wheel movement. Motor or simple skidding?”, says AS.

Similar claims were made against Van Aert last month following the World Cup race in Fiuggi, when again the rear wheel of his bike seemed to spin oddly.
