Man, this guy has a serious chip on his shoulder with Beaumont. I havent read all his blog, just parts of his last entry. Beaumont's name is littered through it achieving nothing but showing the author in a very poor light. His obsession with Beaumont doing adverts has clouded his vision.
So, the feeling Im getting is, it is a bad thing to have Beaumont celebrated in the media and with that increasing the exposure of cycling and inspiring others. Including Julian Emre Sayarer himself to do the record, be it in spite or otherwise. I 'presume', as Julian does himself, Mark Beaumont does a lot more for promoting cycling than he does for himself through "selling out".

Anyway, good on that man, it is a great achievement. I reckon Beaumont would say the same.
