• ‘It just seems to be a French cultural thing,’ says Brailsford
Sir Dave Brailsford expects the cascade of vitriol directed at Team Sky to continue all the way to Paris and has condemned Tour de France organisers for not doing more to stop it.
In the past fortnight the four-times winner Chris Froome has been cuffed by one fan, spat at by another and had an unidentified substance thrown at him, while Geraint Thomas has been persistently booed when presented with his yellow jersey. However, Brailsford insisted such behaviour only makes Team Sky more determined to succeed.
