Just une petite bierre for me, thanks. Alpe d'Huer springs more to mind.

Nobbers typing in French has ruined it for me
Zut alors, 'nobbeurs', non ami ...
Yup - Im more interested in where it is likely that the main players will try to get their 4-8 minutes back from Froome - are they going to gang up him - quiet meeting behind whatever serves for the bike sheds on the TdeF - or will they go for the more individual sort of attacks that basically came to nothing and ended up with the principles losing time against him - looking at the stages coming up - the couple involving the Croix de Fer look likely places to ambush him - with the final mountain stage becoming a free for all

Is "Praying he has a bad day" a recognized rivals tactic?

Movistart with Valverde and Quintana could be a problem - if Valvrde will work for Quintana.
Brailsford got a bit of a grilling on Stade2 yesterday - speaks good French, but looked a bit uncomfortable once or twice. Dodged a couple of questions, and said he didn't know Froome's present weight.
starts just after 58 minutes....

Is it my imagination, or are Le French spectacularly bad losers?

The strangest thing is you'd think they'd have got used to it by now.

Pinot and Bardet thinking they were in a 2 man sprint and completely forgetting to take account of other riders was indeed a spectacularly bad way to lose.

All the French GC guys don't need Froome doing well to lose they're doing a fine job on their own.
I keep hearing that those Data Dimension trackers will be used for heart rate and power later on (in future GT's) as well as position and speed as they are now, if that happens then the clinic nobbers will have actual figures (that they will claim are doctored probably.)

Really? That would be a huge wow if it's true. Most teams are very secretive about their data and wouldn't take kindly to this, I wouldn't have thought.
