Well, not 'just' broke, according to his team and Canyon, that bike had already been in a crash, so they were probably already damaged, then probably couldn't handle Mathieu's power and the vibration from the cobbles anymore so they eventually failed properly.

I think it was down to the non-standard lever clamp canyon used.MrCurrieinahurry wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 6:49 pmThought he caught a wingmirror or something

From what I could see of the crashes, those bars each had a good sharp blow from the outside. That is not something they are designed to take.
No kidding. But if you're riding on cobbles and might crash maybe use alloy bars (or at least carbon bars that don't have a janky/compromised design) that almost certainly won't break.ultimobici wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 6:56 pmFrom what I could see of the crashes, those bars each had a good sharp blow from the outside.

So you want alloy forks, alloy fork steerers, alloy seatposts and also alloy frames? Lolspartacus wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 6:58 pmNo kidding.

IIRC it was both those things together. Clipping the mirror did the damage at the point weakened by the clamp at an earlier race and then he went over a pothole in the cobblestone sector at Le Samyn.ultimobici wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 6:52 pmI think it was down to the non-standard lever clamp canyon used.MrCurrieinahurry wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 6:49 pmThought he caught a wingmirror or something

Couldn't easily find the article that highlighted the fix right now but it's out there if anyone can use google-fu for more than my two minute break.

And I can imagine UCI (all elderly men who never cycled ) also don’t know.
Wish it works our for you.
