episode 9: Bastille Day
This episode of Kilometre 0 looks at French cycling, much maligned after a generation in the doldrums and enduring 31 years of hurt since Bernard Hinault last home win at the Tour de France.
But there have been signs of a revival for a few years now, the idea that the French are training luddites rejecting the advances of sports science is a myth
Hear from Sky's sports director Nicolas Portal, FDJ coach, and brother of Thibaut Pinot, Julien Pinot, and the last Frenchman to win on Bastille Day (in 2005), David Moncoutié.
