Expect wear on everything. This is how you use up a bike’s brakes and chain. Everything else usually holds up OK, but needs detailed cleaning and lubing.

Lots of posts lately on this race. What I gathered so far is that yes, your bike will be ok, after you replace all of the components 😀

Your bike frame is going to be fine. Probably

I did the 50k. I have been able to rinse my bike with a flowering water can cause my hose is frozen outside. My brakes are probably shredded, not sure about the other components. We’ll see.
I did run over a guy (then crashed) who crashed in front of me and I do see a nice abrasion on the chain stay. Gonna take it to a carbon repair to check it out 🥲
