Can someone translate the middle bit about who should be responsible?

I get the impression he finds the whole thing ridiculous

    He's angry with the president of the race jury, who so happens to be spanish, about moving the finish line back and forth. "The president didn't do his job. When we make a mistake we get a fine. Well, he should get a huge fine" and continues to add some racial slur about a spaniard calling the shots on a french race.

    I'm not sure why Madiot is getting so excited. Even if the stage had been crash-free and bus-gate hadn't occurred, Bouhanni would have to have beaten Cavendish, Greipel, Kittel, Degenkolb and one or two others to get the win. Possible, but unlikely.

    Imagine what his wife has to put up with when he's on the vinegar strokes. :shock:


    Sorry, I know that's a mental image you won't be able to remove.

    Here's another clip which is full of Madiot madness from 2005. Screaming, silent despair, crying - it's all there

    Marc Madiot represents one of the better arguments for a ban on rider radios. Can you imagine listening to a barrage from Monsieur Madiot at every race?

    On the contrary. He's a great argument for keeping them, but broadcasting in-car footage.

    According to Carlton "Not too bad so far" Kirby, they have access to the team's radios this year.
