Cadex has released an official statement concerning Amaury Capiot's catastrophic rear wheel failure, which occurred during the men's edition of Omloop Het Nieuwsblad on Saturday.
Pictures surfaced of the Team Jayco AlUla rider standing at the side of the road during the race holding his Giant Propel bike; the bike's rear wheel rim appeared to be broken, with the spokes completely detached from the hub, whilst the tyre had also come off the rim, exposing the tubeless sealant and internal liner that had been fitted.
