Cognitive Concepts
Language Bias
The language used is largely neutral and descriptive. While words like "brillé" (shone) and "titiller" (to tease) might have slight connotations, they are used within the context of the race and don't significantly skew the portrayal of any athlete.
Bias by Omission
The analysis is limited to a selection of cyclists. Other strong contenders might have been omitted due to space constraints or editorial choices. This doesn't necessarily indicate bias, but it limits the completeness of the preview.
