Tour de France to Test Bicycles for Technical Fraud Using VJ Technologies' Mobile X-ray Inspection Unit
BOHEMIA, NY — VJ Technologies partnered with the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) to use a mobile x-ray inspection unit to test for technical fraud in bicycles at the 2018 Tour de France, after testing the prototype at the 2016 race.
The x-ray system is a sure way of detecting illegal components hidden in bikes, providing an image of what is actually on the inside of the bikes, clearly differentiating between legal wires or electronic gear shifters and illicit propulsion devices.
