I've just been reading Ric Stern's analysis of the Tour de France stage results
for this year and last year.

It's quite interesting and good stuff. But the logic and approach seems to be
the same as what Francois has been saying over the last 5 years or so - which
has a quite individual style / analysis not seen on other web postings. Could
it be that Ric has got his grounding from following Francois' writings?

Ric also seems to have gotten an American accent over the last year.
