You're right I hadn't. Now I have. None of the crashes I have seen seem to have been caused in any way by a bike failure. None of the rest of the article suggests that. Maybe conceivably lightness might contribute to instability but even that wasn't really suggested by any of the quoted riders or staff. The main culprit seems to be larger peletons with more aggressive riding and more dangerous courses.
