I got this directly from the report http://www.bea.aero/docspa/2009/f-cp...p090601.en.pdf
Page 62 shows FO pitch command, at 2 seconds after A/P drop out he starts a substantial aft input - if you look it gets to about half deflection before easing off, so not just a slight back pull! It does not in my view, tie in with the roll inputs at all if you examine the traces. He does not give a forward input until about 11 second in, but by this time the nose is way up, and he does not get the pitch below about 10 degrees, interestingly it is only when the captain walks in(at about 1:30 in) that he actually puts in and holds full up (well after the aircraft had stalled at About 1:10 in). Pages 62-64 show all these inputs.
