I'm pretty convinced now that there was an unknown factor involving instruments that fooled the PF, hence more specifically the Right Hand Seat which is feeded by ADIRU2. Also, by deduction, the pilot flying was David Robert, 37, with 6,547 flying hrs including 4,479 on type. He was by far the more experienced A330 jockey on the deck and was PF from take-off. His reaction was immediate, he was not asleep, and he should have been fooled by something.
No.Incorrect. Co-Pilot No2 was PF starting 1:55 according to BAE report may. Taken from the CVR. He took over Captains seat, left at 1:59.

A 1 h 55, le commandant de bord réveille le second copilote et annonce « […] il va
prendre ma place ».

Entre 1 h 59 min 32 et 2 h 01 min 46 Le commandant de bord quitte le poste de pilotage.
PF had 800+ hrs on this type.
NPF was David Robert

At 2h11, the captain took again the pilot seat. This was already in the decent.
Vers 2 h 11 min 40 , le commandant de bord rentre dans le poste de pilotage.
I deliberately took the french version, as the english translation contains some differences
