The article cites: "...failure of the carbon fork on a fatigue fracture in the aluminium steering tube".
Although tests on Stanton's fork may have yet to be done (or revealed), it is obviously significant, in terms of documentation, whether his aluminum steerer cracked, or his aluminum steerer separated from its bond with the carbon crown.
