One thing I've noticed in a lot of the skating coverage that I've seen from France this season (not that there's ever much, but there's been a bit more than usual) is that Gabi and Guillaume seem to have been taking a deliberate step back and letting Vanessa and Morgan take precedence, which I actually thought was really nice of them. They're five-time European champions, fine, but by this point that's practically expected. Vanessa and Morgan are the first French pairs team to win Euros since
the 1930s. They're the big story of this season. If they win Worlds they'll be an even bigger one. Maybe Gabi and Guillaume are stepping back from the tour to let Vanessa and Morgan headline it, goodness knows they've earned top spot after what they've achieved in the past three seasons.
According to Chafik Besseghier, they don't.
