He's got pnuemonia but don't let that stop you taking any shit you feel you are entitled to (do not include me in your "we" BTW)

Sorry, are you implying that this is down to everyone but the poor French riders doping? Personally I feel it's more likely they are just cracking under the hope and expectation of a public hoping to end 30 odd years of hurt (sounds familiar) and a refusal to adapt.0 -
Well the decision to continue when he was obviously ill worked out well didn't it.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

His DS should have been up on a charge for letting him continue. Massive failure in duty of care to the rider, as was clear from the pictures on the day.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -

Can't understand why they don't just give Reichenbach a second leaders role - when Pinot dropped out in the 2016 Tour Reichenbach was on fire
Madiot won't substitute when its obvious and now he's saying Gaudu is where Pinot was in 2012 - let him take his chance at the Tour.
I mean come on - wtf is he doing ?? Tour team so far
KONOVALOVAS Ignatas
.. SINKELDAM Ramon
.. DÉMARE Arnaud
.. GUARNIERI Jacopo
.. GAUDU David
They could have had
Pinot
Reichenbach
Vincent (after a good Dauphine )
Molard
Geniez (if they hadn't flogged him unnecessarily) so Demare or Morabito
Gaudu
Vichot's going OK

The French haven't won a TdF since Hinault, and it's not because they didn't take drugs.
They haven't won a GT since Jalabert in 95.
I can't remember the last time a French rider won a meaningful TT.
French riders tend to stay on French teams, and there's only one French team that's actually worth anything, AG2R.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -
French cycling is much like English football. They have a huge sense of entitlement, their stars rarely join foreign teams, preferring overpaid security at home at teams a few years behind others and the fans blame losing on cheating foreigners. Eventually English football eventually came to the conclusion that they're just sh!t. French cycling should do the same.Twitter: @RichN950

Why is it important that a French rider win, or be in the race at all, as a spectator I just want to see the most entertaining race, and could careless about where on earth the winner is from. It's the top level of the sport, everyone worked their way up their. Everyone there deserves cheering and encouragement.
I'm no fan of Chris Froome at all, in fact, I'd much rather see someone else win, BUT I thought it was absolutely disgusting that French fans were booing Chris Froome in last years tour's TT stage.0 -
It's much ado about nothing. Pinot is French Lady Garden. Not a real contender.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230

I think it's good for the sport to have successful French cyclists who create a greater interest in France. It's one of the historic heartlands of the sport and the more interest there is the easier it'll be for the historic races there to get income streams, get road closures etc etc.
There are a few decent French riders around at the moment but for me it'd be good if Bardet could win a Tour or if Allaphillipe could capture a few monuments even if the French one isn't likely to be on the list.[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0 -

It's ironic that the French monument is the one least suitable to any French rider for decades. Last French win in 97, Frédéric Guesdon, who won not much else of any note in the rest of his career.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -

Hence my ‘thirty odd years of hurt’ comment.

Maillot Jeune still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming
So many jokes, so many snears
But all those 'oh so near's
When your down, through the years
But i still see that attack from Bardet
And when Fignon collapsed, Hinault belting the fan
And Jaja doping
One Coq on a shirt....Twitter: @RichN950 -
