Wait... did a moto ride OVER his bike after he fell or did he simply fall and the bike hit the ground?
I don't recall the moto behind the three riders hitting anything or anyone (but very nearly did). Froome and the others were in a heap, however, and their bikes definitely did his the ground.
Clarity, please?

It's quoting Froome.

Is it not so that all equipment used must be made available for end consumers/ public?
That is what i have been told.
If so, F8 X-lite is made in a small batch for this purpose.
That doesn't mean Pinarello made it for this purpose.
It might be made to test a feature idea, or for racing purpose.
The low weight limit is probably set not to risk frame failures in a high rate.
If Pina have a history of building frames that can take some beating, i think they have
same testing done to X-lite which explains the low weight limit of 69.8Kg.
Personally i am not sure if i believe they sell X-lite for any other reason than it has to be available to public.
Personally i would not go for X-lite over standard.
Why?
Because the risk of frame failure.
If Pina had been confident of a lighter mass produced version, we had already seen it available.
No reason to mix up Pina with other brands or what they can do or will do.
I doubt that has anything to do with it.
A more sturdy frame is going to take more abuse.

Do not think the motorbike was anywhere near the rear triangle at impact.

I'm actually a dogma f8 owner, and quite impressed on how it fared. Dude.
Clearly the Xlight or Xheavy or Xtraheavy is not gonna survive being hit by a motorcycle, dude.

did you even look at the picture? the picture says 1000 words, motor wheels were at the downtube/headtube area, damage is chain stays. I doubt he would ever blame his sponsor equipment for that kind of "brittle" equipment
