With strange innocence, a colleague of Lionel Barber has disclosed to the world a photo of the heroic FT editor "after 242km day 2" on his journey along the Tour de France route, as recounted in the Pink 'Un. Awkwardly, this involved the disinterested journalistic judge of the industrial scene being kitted out in branded Team Sky cycling kit à la Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish, with a gigantic Sky logo across his chest. Was he being just as naïve as the tweeter; or, as carpers have suggested, cannily preparing himself in case Rupert fancies a grab at the FT if Pearson sells it? Far too cynical, surely, but that was the unfortunate impression conveyed.
