This was covered on all the usual cycling news sites, and Bob Roll did
mention it on the preview show for the next stage, IIRC.

Interesting article, but does it smell fishy to anyone else? If the
chainstay flexed enough to cause the chain to skip once it seems that it
would have to happen again while leading the race up a mountain, or to fail
completely. I guess Lance can throw away a bike after every crash, but if
the OCLV can fail so easily then I think those of us who have to purchase
our own equipment would be very wary of them.
