Hopefully not an issue, but I'd have to ride one to confirm.
The Roubaix definitely doesn't feel twitchy. The Roubaix and Domane both feel very stable, with the steering giving plenty of confidence for descending at speed (again, I prefer the Roubaix but the Domane is no slouch). Testing riding to confirm for yourself is the way to go though.
