I don't mean to insult you Jan, but given that I, with imperfect French myself, have already anonymously made corrections to the French translations on your bicycle quarterly web site, I would like to see the original quote in French. Especially given that you admitted to me in your email of thanks, at the time of my corrections, that your French is quite limited, it would not surprise me in the least that you are either reading too much into what is written or misinterpreting the original French quote.
