Canyon’s sponsored professional cycling teams, including Alpecin-Fenix, Movistar and Canyon/SRAM, have also switched bikes – to the previous-generation Aeroad and Ultimate all-rounder – following the incident.
Van der Poel finished the race with the handlebar on his Aeroad snapped roughly halfway down the right-hand drop. The handlebar is being analysed by Canyon’s development and quality control departments, according to a statement issued by the company.

Groupe Bruxelles Lambert (GBL) has signed a definitive agreement to acquire a majority stake in Canyon Bicycles.
Founder Roman Arnold will remain the chairman of the advisory board and reinvest a significant part of his proceeds alongside GBL. As part of the transaction, significant minority shareholder TSG Consumer Partners will fully exit its stake.
“We’ve become a global, digital champion through steady success,” said Arnold. “Through technology, global expansion and sporting success, we have accomplished a lot. Now is the right time to go further on the offensive, to take advantage of all the opportunities – and there are many. That’s why I’m very pleased to partner with GBL, who have convinced my team and me with their passion for our business, years of experience and long-term focus.”
