In response to Rubik101's question "Does the front of the aircraft slow down more rapidly than the portion behind the flight deck door?" the answer in the report was "yes".

It stated that the main undercarriage sheared off as it was supposed to, but that the nose gear dug in to the ploughed field and caused the cockpit section to decelerate faster than the rest of the plane.
