Maybe you love him, maybe you hate him... but you have to give the guy some credit for being the character that he is and for having the career that he did- especially when you consider how few Americans were able to at that time.
Bob Roll, "Bobke", has launched his own website! Pictures, stories and a brand new blog as well. It should prove to be very entertaining. Years ago, when Bob wrote regularly for VeloNews, I used to laugh my ass off on a routine basis with his stories of riding with John Tomac, Rishi Grewal, all the Euro guys and Lance Armstrong. Bob is also a regular commentator on OLN for their cycling coverage and is frequently picked on for his famous mispronounciation of "tour dee/ day france" all the time. His intentional slaughtering of French always cracks me up, since he speaks beautiful, fluent French. Ever notice how good his interviews are when he talks to the French riders? Hmm...
Anyway, thanks to Donna Tocci for the heads-up about the new site. I hope you'll all go visit Bob's site. I know that I will be looking forward to seeing what happens over there...

You're my #1 hero but Bobke is a close second.
Happy B-day Tim. Thats awesome--you can celebrate St Patricks day and then use your birthday as an excuse not to go to work. EVERY YEAR. Thats the best setup I have ever heard of.
