This video exposes the truth about TV motorbikes and team cars create powerful slipstreams that change races like the Tour de France, often determining stage wins. From Tim Wellens' 2025 victory (where Quinn Simmons was very vocal) to infamous cases involving Pogačar and Roglič, we dive into the science, history, and politics of motor drafting. With insights from wind tunnel studies, rider testimonies, and expert opinions, we explore how camera bikes can tip the scales—and why the current rules are failing.
