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.Last edited by cusepack; 04-13-2006 at 03:59 AM.

There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

Cari: from the video - his handlebars snapped off at the stem and he went down - hard. It was a very ugly fall and I would Love to know what Treks statement is on this or if it's a Trek issue?
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

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.
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

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!
