That's ego, I have the same behavior. Sticky everything, gears, brakes, even tires are FREE to accuse
But commercial-wise, most often the sponsor(s) will request and pay for press conferences and interviews to be staged. Scripts in the lines of "mechanical failure" are 100% of the time used in any embarrassing scenario. Been in the business for a while to know.
The only 'mistake' allowed to be publically disclosed in professional (or sponsored) racing is to be passed by a faster racer. The rest is all mechanical failures. What else can it be.
