Yes...and no. Of course no bike can turn a bad climber into a good one and a heavier bike will climb just fine, but as you mention, the heaviest...

Radar tells me their closing speed, if they are slowing and how far away. Then I decide to say a prayer. The change of light pattern is incidental.

Quite so, which is why our village 20mph zone covers the whole residential extent. Of course, enforcement is another thing..

No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

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!)
you are right that in italian it is very expressive - 'figlio di putana' etc etc... but a simple 'vaffanculo' is enough
Fantastic guitarist
Oops, an embarassed cop is going to get a lot of stick for that
Is that an AG2R Soigneur trying to grab G ?????
No i think it's just some mouth breather posing as a fan waering AG2R kit. Hopefully Le plod will be feeling his collar and charging him with assault.
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?
I suspect he had been speaking French but couldn't think of a better expletive in the heat of the moment.
Indeed. No matter how fluent one becomes in another language, in the heat of the moment, one will always revert to one's native lingo.
