- regarding AF statement

I would agree - bear in mind it's probably gone through translation though.

The statement (at least in english) then goes on to contradict itself by saying that the stop-start stall alarm contributed to failure to analyse situation. Why would that have any relevance if the situation "could not be" recovered !?

It also states that pitot icing "led to" the roll excursions - new one on me, how

Personally I think AF are grasping at straws, particularly given the comments on training. Also, AF blames the pitots, but they were advised (in plenty of time to prevent this) to change them by AB, and they delayed/refused. I think AF are in trouble on this one.
