"I had to change bikes four times" - Florian Senechal critical of Bianchi after multiple mechanical issues at Paris-Roubaix

A 60th placed finish at Paris-Roubaix wasn't the desired result for Florian Senechal on Sunday. Afterwards though, the Frenchman was clear with what went wrong.

"I think that we have a technical problem with our bike, and we'll have to look into it," Senechal said afterwards to Cyclism'Actu, placing the blame firmly at the feet of Arkéa - B&B Hotels' official bike sponsor, Bianchi. "It wasn't going well with my bike. My fork or my stem was starting to give out. There were carbon noises and it was becoming cardboard. I got scared and stopped to change bikes. In any case, I couldn't go any faster because I couldn't pull on the handlebars. And I didn't want to fall on my collarbone."

"I had to change bikes four times," he continued. "At the Carrefour de l'Arbre, the handlebars of my second bike came loose," he continues frustratedly. "I think that we have a technical problem with our bike and we'll have to look into it. It's annoying to always have problems."
