That's what Rudy did in TCR couple of years ago when his Van nicholas cracked, bought an otp Bianchi and carried on. Though just any entry level road bike might not be too reliable for such a distance and indeed your dynamo might not fit or your bags.
There seems to be a broken frame or two in these races every year. Carbon, alu, ti, steel.
I think Falconer's Bowman cracked too, but not in a race.
