People ask for advice on their health insurance and health debt often. They also ask for updates on my case, which I’ve been scared to provide. In light of current events, I got a lot of folks suddenly asking “what ever happened with your thing, Phil?” So here it is…hopefully the last update on this whole mess. I hope this helps someone. Feel free to message me if you think I can help, or see the letter in my video description that I sent to various entities. I’m not a lawyer and never worked with a lawyer in this case, but it worked for me so maybe this is useful as a template.

I watch the races and the commentary, just waiting for someone to start screaming about whatever seems obvious or insane to me and needs to be pointed out in commentary or news analysis. When that doesn't happen, that means I have to make a video. This one explains why some nations have more riders than others, how that affects the tactics, and why a triathlete who DIDN'T START THE RACE is the best teammate of the 2024 Olympics so far, and some other things.

I'll finish this Tour de France series with a recap of the final stages, a summary of the winners and losers (by team and individual)--who's happy and who has to go back to the drawing board (factoring in team budgets and goals), and I'll also answer the question that I get most often, which therefore shouldn't be ignored: do I think the tour and its winners are clean?

Catching you up on the latest Tour de France news and results, from some big GC days, to close sprint finishes, and FINALLY a breakaway. Roglic pulling a "fuck it...I'll drop out and do the Vuelta," Pidcock out with Covid, and Geraint CONTINUING with Covid?

Why is that guy pulling? Why is the one sitting on? What is that team doing? Pro cycling looks simple at first, then it get complicated, but I'm here to make it simple again. I hope this helps.

I'll do these as often as I feel like it, and I felt like it today! Enjoy some hot takes, cold takes, analysis, and light updates
