Good to see the 'body guard' getting stuck in like a good'un. And not worrying more about his bike than his charge.
Merde!
Nique ta mère may be what you seek, there are add-ons should that be too genteel.
'Va te faire eпculer' was what I was told to say, swearing in Italian is much better and generally more insulting when using 'mother' & 'whore' together!
ou mieux, 'va te faire foutre'... i would imagine poor old fromey has had enough of the old frenchies by now... he should have said to the viuex flic ' Je vous prie de m'excuser, Monsieur, mais j'en ai marre de votre putain de... pays/course/tour/paysants/population (delete as appropriate!)

Fantastic guitarist
And a superb precis of this year's Omniyawn of a Tour.

Is that an AG2R Soigneur trying to grab G ?????

Potty mouth Froomedog!
Is it just me wanting it to be so or did Chris Froome come out with “Fuck you!” in his best ‘Allo ‘Allo! accent?
