Bob Roll ROCKS!!! I didn't get a chance to see him at Sea Otter this year or else I'd have rocked him back a bit with a river stone bounced off of his noggin. Since it's Bob they would have shown it on the air. I coulda been a contender!

I assure you that beats this stupid grill commercial. There are 2 or 3 versions in which an idiot treats the grill as if it is a dog by taking it hunting and playing with it.

I think he is good now. I am sure he will only get better but he is still the best they have had in a long while. Considering how Phinney, Heiden and a few other racers did when commentating shortly after ending their road careers, I think he is doing an excellent job.

They actually show her laughing in one segment. fake blonde? I don't think she's a fit for this show either. It's obvious she could care less about the race. How about in stage 2 when she asks that posed question to Bobke about Finot's breakaway staying under 10 minutes?

The one with the man with the frisbee has GOT TO GO.

I'm just tickled to death that they think enough of the bike riding market to spend the money on sponsoring the program. I'll go out of my way to look for a Char-Broil grill the next time I need one.
