The French need to restablish the use pro farming teams. When the
French cycling had a farm team system they were very successful and had
a lot of victores.

RAGT Semences isn't doing so well. I say we send all the French
cyclists back to the farms, pull some of those big Norman mooks away
from their sheep, and train them for Paris-Roubaix.
