Yes, that's how it happened. Did you check out his thread on RBR? He's got the photos up. Only a few feathers and the poor fella is laid up for at least 6-8 weeks.

OH no!
I have been so busy I hadn't caught up with this... lets hope he mends well and stays on track for the Tour
Thanks for the links everyone, have just been reading them. Most appreciated.
Velonews had a picture of the broken bike here. The stem looks OK... maybe the steerer tube snapped?
I saw an interview with Bruyneel at one of the cycling websites (can't remember which). He said the current thinking is that the steer tube/stem was damaged in Hincapie's first crash of the day, and that all the sbusequent bumping on the cobbles ultimately led to the snap. Apparently they were talking about when to swap out his bike shortly before the second crash. Bummer!
Yes, I saw it there. Hope he heals quickly!Quote:
