I thought L'Equipe's take on Brailsford and Larppartient as a pair of dogs that meet in the street, smell each other arses and then start barking at each other. There does seem to be something personal between them.
But I think it is a more of a Sky thing. The UCI has got an F1 situation on their hands: dominant teams, less entertaining racing and declining television ratings, which has the knock of effect of less sponsor hip and so less money in the sport. So like F1 we may get endless weird tweaks to try to make the sport more egalitarian and help the French to win more.

Is this his way of getting back at Brailsford?
“We should go further with a reduction to six for the measure to be really effective,” Lappartient said. “At seven, Team Sky is still racing as a unit.”
