The engines are in front of the gear, so pulling up should only be easier.
Well we are now getting into the realm of what was the coefficient of friction of the carbon fibre engine cowls, against the runway, compared to the position of the C/G... Would that have produced a nose down pitching moment..? ( remember there was no nose-wheel to prevent a further pitch down.)
As an ex endurance event cyclist, I think that Dehydration, and Hunger Bonk will be part of the cause of this accident.
