  1. Or is Bob Roll's commentary just flat out annoying as hell? Between his
    absurd hand motioning for everything (I'm scared to see him describe
    when riders need to pee without getting off the bike) and his butchering
    of every name, place and the "Tour Day Fraaance" every 10 seconds, OLN
    should put him the broom wagon and leave him there. I can't believe
    they let him do this again. He may have knowledge and experience, but
    he's so damn distracting....

    No, it isn't just you. This is marketing and Roll is there to appeal to a
    special segment. You will see them post here with comments about how great
    they think he is. What I notice is that his fans always start their post
    off with something like "Dude -- Bob Roll rulz!"

    NS

  3. I do find him somewhat entertaining, don't get me wrong. But he's just
    too much. I was just talking to a friend about this, and perhaps a 90
    or 120 second summary (okay, give him a full 3 mins ;-) to do "his
    thing", and I would find that goofy, nifty, neato, fun. But having him
    go on and on and on is overkill.

    Kinda like with my 8 year old at home. Okay, it was funny. Now, you
    need to know when enough is enough....

  4. Bob seems to be taking too far, he doesn't have anything as a second act.

    I'm said to say he has over stayed his welcome.

    Yes, it's just you. And you're a [censored].

    Watch the live show in the morning. No Bob, or at least very little.

    I for one am getting sick of the Jan bashing. (Sherwen did it too.) The
    comical German accents, the self-loathing, the blatant mockery. Jan is a
    classy guy and serious competitor for all his faults and various
    failures to win.

  9. I have to agree... he's rather annoying... he's been pulling out the
    same old [censored] everytime... it maybe could be funny if he interjected
    his stupid comments into genuine info.. but although he knows his
    stuff... it's mainly the silliness that prevails...
    Bob should roll off to some other place...

    Some folks find him entertaining. He doesn't bother me, but I wouldn't miss
    him if he didn't come back next year.
