I always like to complain about the German commentators saying names wrong, but at least they make an effort sometimes (although sometimes those attempts are questionable). I guess in France it‘s just customary to pronounce everyone in a very French manner, so nobody even expects correct pronunciation. Definitely makes it easier.
It's even so ingrained that nobody in Denmark (apart from me) pronounces Greg Lemond correctly. It's always an approximation of Le Monde, the newspaper, which seems exceedingly odd.

PCS have Bagioli, Viviani and Sütterlin in the top 5 of the stage. Good job.

Was this the end of Chris Froome's WT career?

He'd be the last to complain, I'd guess. Besides, when the mispronunciation literally is "the World" who's gonna feel odd?
