For information.

French press claims to have seen a pre-report where (insufficient) maintenance of pitot probes may have been a factor in the accident. (link in French)

[approximate brief translation]
These may have been worn and less efficient, which may be explained by the time elapsed since the last maintenance. The regulations are that maintenance should be performed every 21 months and these regulations could be put into question.
