Arnout said:I'm starting to like US races, for some reason they seem to be very laid back and all that, but I cannot get used to the commentators willfully being used to sprout all kind of commercial crap. "The United Healthcare team classification, the Execy (wrongly spelled, no doubt) Sprint jersey etc", and always pronouncing Radioshack-Nissan-Trek and Liquigas-Cannondale.
Feels wrong and American at the same time.

Arnout said:In my opinion, not necessarily (the more money, the higher the stakes, the more risk averse), but I understand your point.
