Bernal doesn’t look good this week, I thought Adam Yates was going to give it a go but he faded off too, it’s turned out to be a good race so far  |

"Is it french for horse?
I don’t use it often..."
Think it just means hat, but in cycling terms it’s to take your hat off to someone, to pay them respect for something they’ve done, it’s said to congratulate them. |

I've never used this and I'll admit that I actually had to Google what it meant. Now I know it's like a French version of tipping your hat to someone so I might try and drop it in conversation a few times throughout my day in work and see who else knows it  |
