Radio Tour: The strong silent type


Sometimes you watch a stage with the sound off, and you assume everyone else saw what you saw.

Having just watched today's stage, I'm a little bummed at the commentary. Both Phil and Paul made a stink about Kurt Arvesen "celebrating a little too early" and nearly losing the stage.

On the contrary! Arvesen attacked with 4K to go, and he carried about 300 pounds of dead weight. Ballan and Elmiger fucking sucked his wheel that whole time, and Arvesen still won, effectively sprinting for 4000 meters, alone and without help.

Well done, Kurt. Big suitcase of courage. Being the nordic type, the last thing you're going to do is cast aspersions.

Phil and Paul, get it together. Give the man his props.
