One of the Quick-Step Davitamon riders broke a stem in stage 13. Phil Liggett commented on this and they showed a picture of the downed bike. FSA is listed as one of this team's equipment suppliers on the team profile at Velonews along with Time & Mavic. Anybody have any details or comments on what this rider was using and/or the durability of various bar/stem brands, particularly composite?
