Yes, Hinault is a complete hypocrite calling for a strike. He states that the peloton are 'too nice' in not calling Froome out. That's just a joke, it's just omerta pure and simple.
Hinault has no right to take a moral stance in this case and I think he is simply more worried about his own achievement of winning 5 tours being threatened.
Give me a break. He's simply calling out BS as he always has done. The same nonsense was said about LeMond when Armstrong was going for 4, that it was about his legacy. Turns out LeMond was right about everything. As is Hinault.
His "doping" violation was not to show for a doping control at a post Tour exhibition race. He could have not cared, been full of blow or amphetamines or some mild substance. He gets that Sky and Froome are running the full program and are making a mockery of the sport.
He gets the difference. Not sure why others don't. You want to side with Froome over Hinault? Good luck with that.
