The real speed of your proton (not the one you measure) is therefore Vr=6947c.

 Why so many words to give the simple answer:
 Your theory predicts that the real speed of
the proton in the LHC is 6947c.
 You failed to answer the second question.
"What is the measured speed of the protons in the LHC?"
 You know the answer.
The real speed of the protons is measured to be less than c.
 So since the predicted speed is different from
the measured speed, your theory is falsified.
 

French again. Translated by Google:

You are deliberately confusing Vo and Vr.
Vo is what we measure in the laboratory with clocks placed in different locations.

The physicists at CERN are measuring the speed
of the protons in the LHC to be less than c.
Putting different indexes on the V can't change that fact.
And of course this speed is real, and not imaginary.
--------------------------
I am keeping the rest of the translation because
it is so incredible funny!

 The same clock, placed at the start and finish of a large circular circuit, is not, in relativity, one and the same clock.
These are two clocks, placed in two different places and separated by the distance of the circuit, even if they have been "fused" into one.

See? Hilarious, no?

The only reality is the time measured by a watch that
could be attached to the proton, and which would give the proper time in the proton's frame of reference, because it always remains in the same place in its frame of reference (accelerated or not). This is not the case for the laboratory reference frame, which measures a very “jumpy” proton.

So you claim that we must know the protons proper time per
cycle to measure the real speed of the proton in the lab frame!
Even more hilarious! :-D
BTW, is the proton which remain at the same place in its
frame of reference the same proton as the very jumpy proton
in the lab frame?

 Please note: the real speed is measured in the LAB reference frame.

Yes, of course!
Even a child would be able to calculate that when
the proton is moving around the 27 km circuit,
and it passes by the same point every slightly more
than 90 μs, then its real speed is slightly less than
27000m/0.000009s = 3000000000 m/s

The theory of relativity is full of little traps, and the idea that the real speed is in the reference frame of the proton, since we use its own time, is a very powerful trap.

Who fell in this trap?
