Too damn much science for normal humans to deal with...

"Yeah, right."

I couldn't help but notice Jan saying something to the effect of "I was
ill", "It would have been nice to win" and "Second is still pretty good."

Truly, the heart of a champion.

loss of power"..

Jesus, he lost his head! No wonder he had to stop.

So much for the superior pinch bolt design. He even pulled the drive
side completely out of the BB. Was this a mechanical/materials failure
or was is a shoddy installation?

Neither. Pedal cleat retention was set too tight.

Well, since the crank spindle (or axle, if you prefer) is permanently
attached to the right crank arm, once the left arm came off, the whole assembly
could slide right out of the bb. Why'd the left arm come loose? It's hard to
know without inside info. I'd tend to lean toward mechanic error, though. Bolts
left loose, perhaps.
