He is right of course: you don't get this in the Giro or Vuelta, and the spitting and physical violence does reflect badly on the French. And while the riders and staff don't deserve it, the buck stops with Brailsford.
Eh? Surely the buck stops with the people doing the spitting and physical violence. And if any third party has led them to do it, I'd say Bernard Hinault, the ASO and the French press have far more to do with it than Brailsford.

Really? After everything that has gone at Sky over the years? When Sky started up there was a fair amount of goodwill, Wiggins was initially quite popular, but I think that has been steadily ground down and that is down to very bad PR, and that ultimately down to Brailsford.
Ze Germans have a word for what happens to me when Brailsford opens his yap hole: Fremdschämen

Sky have a history of appalling PR, one blunder after another which have undoubtedly contributed to the toxic atmosphere in France. He is right of course: you don't get this in the Giro or Vuelta, and the spitting and physical violence does reflect badly on the French. And while the riders and staff don't deserve it, the buck stops with Brailsford. Considering the recent disasters he is lucky to have a job, and he would do Sky a massive favour by stepping back from giving interviews. He doesn't have to be there, I am sure he could send in a DS.
