His name is Bjørn Riis, not Lars. He is from Norway. Ablaze is his biggest fan, and wears t-shirts every day with a picture of mr. Riis.
I don't think he is related to danish Bjarne Riis who won Tour de France in 1996.
A nice site, also for us who isn't guitar loonies. But I don't agree with everything he writes on his blog, he is a terribly biased Gilmour partisan.
