That's ridiculous. If a frames cracked during the race, that wouldn't be a very good use of marketing / sponsorship dollars. Common sense, hmm?
Bike racing teams have people known as "professional mechanics". Unlike you they'll spot a delaminating frame when they maintain a bike. Which, unlike you, they'll do nightly. The way CF frames fail is to first delaminate and THEN to crack at a later stress. Which you'd know if you'd bothered to find out anything about CF frames...
