Sad Day

After noticing some play in the bottom bracket of my 2012 Cervelo R5 last week, I contacted our local VeloFix mechanic (I don't trust my LBS with this bike) to check it out and repair/replace parts as needed.
VeloFix showed up yesterday morning and proceeded to pull the cranks and BB from the frame before asking me to come have a look. I was gutted to hear, and see, that the BB shell has de-bonded from the frame on the drive-side.
The mechanic confirmed he's not a carbon fibre expert but he did not feel that the shell could be re-bonded or epoxied back to the frame with any chance of it being round or having long term success.
