Punctures aren't mechnicals.....Not sure why cycling views them as such. In motorsport, you'd never call a puncture a mechnical.....it's a tyre issue, not mechnical.
I think it's quite unlikely that all the major mechanicals happened in the last 3 years. "Ever" doesn't mean the very recent past, does it? Would've been better if you only listed the ones of 2023, like the title says.

That Hugo Hofstetter failure is exactly the reason why now having the hoods turned inside is forbidden. Probably he was putting charge in the wrong place of the handlebar, where is not supposed to have one, and thus it broke. Twice.
