I know the French aren't keen on team Sky but near the finish of stage 2 'F#CK SKY' was written right across the road and quite a few French spectators were booing the Sky riders and vehicles, thought that was a bit out of order.

Not quite. The silly foreigners spelled it with a # instead of a 'U' by the looks of things.

The French must really hate a thing if they spell it in Engish.

Given their dominance and soo long since a French winner, it's hardly a surprise. Surprised sky haven't went for a French gc rider to gather more favor in France

The French love swearing in English. Just listen to their bullshoot radio
I was expecting a little bit of antipathy given our recent finger to Yerp but everyone we met was friendly enough. When the Sky Death Star rolled through Ste Marie du Mont on the first day it got the same reception as all the other team buses and there was no booing. Every country has its planks I suppose.
