Anyone interested in telling others which team(s) they are?
I'll start. I'm mostly FDJ (55%), with a bit of DQ (35%) and EF (10%) thrown in.

Apparently that means I need to learn French...

It wasn't really necessary for you to reveal your result; we already knew you were FdJ, and I wouldn't put it past BR to have given you the same result, no matter how you've answered the questions ;)

I'd be pretty low on that "Frenchness Ranking", though.

If you learn French or change your name, you could be moving up the list.

But I think you need a different questionnaire to determine which FdJ rider you are.

a) Yes, and I would carry this person every day of the week
b) Yes, and it's the strongest person I know
c) No
d) Animals are my only real friends

Descending or climbing?
a) Descending
b) Climbing
c) Give me a little bit of both
d) Which of my bikes will I be using?

Do you enjoy a bit of drama?
a) Yes, always. It is in my blood
b) No
c) I'm a big fan of comedy

You're in a race, and there's 10 km left. What do you do?
a) Attack, attack, attack!
b) I suck wheels for the next 9.8 km
c) I try to get my captain into a good position, but then I lose him inside the final kilometer
d) My work is already done by then, so I can take a nice breather

Would you be capable of hijacking a bus in order to get to Luxembourg in time?
a) Yes
b) Yes, but I would be nice enough to let people off at their preferred stops, before I used it for my own purposes
c) No
