Sorry - you being a self-professed newbie has nothing to do with absolutely unrealistic expectations, nor do these failure modes have any reflection on real-world use.
I find two cars with bikes on top getting tangled not very plausible but geeze anything is possible out there and from what i have seen all those support cars follow the riders none go the opposite direction that I have seen to get tangled with another one following the riders. Untrealistic expectations or whatever, eventually whatever happened it is just not a good
PR image for the technology or the sponsor or the manufacturer for a some like $20,000? bike made for a champion to be used on grueling TdF to break like that?
