not sure how you can make that jump... I don't remember any crashes being caused by carbon failure in the tour.. sure there are bike failures as a result but they are put on new bikes when that happens.
Steephill.tv says the crash was caused by wet road not by a bike failure "as reported on tv" honestly, taking anything that those bumbles phil and paul say at face value is ridiculous.. they think guys going back to take a piss are "cracking"
I don't see where people are saying he was using a bike that fell off the car? why would he be riding a backup bike rather than his main bike anyway? (nevermind.. saw Andy's post)
