Late 2019 I had a rear-end collision (ran into the rear/side of racer in front of me as he was crashing out in a greasy corner) in lap 2 of 7 at a local CX race and bent my front rotor. It was bent enough to rub the inside of the fork leg but not so much that the wheel still rotated. I completed the remaining 5 laps to finish the race (+/- 5km) and when I looked at the fork the rotor had cut through the paint and put a -1mm deep groove in the carbon fork leg. So I managed to pry the rotor back to a straight-ish position, rode home from the race, cleaned up the bike, and touched up the damage with a few coats of nail polish.
