Sénéchal claims "technical problem" with Bianchi
"I had to change four times": Florian Sénéchal blames "technical problem" with Bianchi at Paris-Roubaix
"I had to change bikes four times. At the Carrefour de l'Arbre, the handlebars of my second bike came loose. I think that we have a technical problem with our bike and we'll have to look into it. It's annoying to always have problems. I didn't fall. The legs were there, the physical condition was there. I have nothing to prove myself and I have to be patient now. I didn't want to give up even though I hadn't had any luck yet.
road.cc contacted Bianchi for comment, although the Italian bike brand was not the only sponsor to suffer mechanicals or technical issues during the extremely punishing cobbled sectors. In the women's race, eventual winner Lotte Kopecky adjusted and tightened her handlebars while riding between sectors, taking an allen key from the SD Worx team car to complete the on-the-fly maintenance.
The possible breakage of a carbon fibre handlebar is a predictable condition as a consequence of a strong impact generated by uncontrollable dynamics.
