Quite interesting article, especially if you use Strava and have worked very hard to win an elusive KOM (King of the Mountain). Whilst riding isn't all about Strava (or other fitness apps) the top ten tables and competition for KOM's is a great training tool and something that helps solo training. Could all that be ruined by the new breed of power assisted E-Bikes?
There has already been accusations of high level races being won by use of motors within bike frames offering similar 'power assistance' to that described in this article. Can see that developing into as big an issue as EPO/Drugs in cycling.
Worth a read if you have a few minutes spare:
