Arrieta was a devoted domestique for Miguel Indurain. L'Équipe said of him:

"He no longer counts the hours, the years, spent with his nose in the wind trying to protect his leader for as long as possible."[1]

Arrieta said:

When you have the chance to start your career in so big a team and at the side of a champion as great as Indurain, you grow in the service of sacrifice. I don't complain. To the contrary, I had the chance to live some wonderful moments. When Indurain won, or another rider for whom we had decided to work, it was a victory for all the team men as well."[1]

gollark: Yay OLEDs!
gollark: <@392702691459072010> It might help. Running it on a different computer means more CPU can be dedicated to the server. But a random old AMD CPU will have awful single core perf.
gollark: It's entirely possible that you came up with an idea *so insane* that nobody else made a library for it!
gollark: <@111569489971159040> Maybe just have it use some sort of CLI partitioning tool as a backend?
