Florian Sénéchal had to change bikes four times during Paris-Roubaix. He criticized his handlebars in particular for not holding up.
His Arkéa-B&B Hotels team did not in fact follow all the assembly instructions. The team apologized for this this Thursday, and reaffirmed their total confidence in the Bianchi brand bikes, which have already made it possible to win this season seven races: five on the road for men, one for women, the French Cyclo-cross Championship and recently finishing 2nd in the Tour of Flanders with Luca Mozzato. The French rider, 60th in the ranking at the end of the race, can therefore blame his team for not having respected all the instructions when adjusting the bikes. The runner and the managers of the team published an unprecedented press release after criticizing the material used on the cobblestones of No 6. The Bianchi bike supplier has apologized for its bicycle supplier and the team staff.
