Didn't Paul Sherwen or one of the other Versus guys say last year that Robbie had popped out of another rider's pocket during one sprint? I'm just waiting for the UCI to slap him with a fine because teleporting's just gotta be against one of their many silly restrictions

"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com

He's committed to continue that now...as he's been razzed about it for years...he came to Bike Expo in Seattle a couple of years ago and grinned BIG when someone asked him about it, saying that 'if that's what gets you riled, buddy, then there is more bugging you in your life than lil ol' me'...
don't let him get to you, as I doubt he'll quit that annoying habit anytime soon...and also, I heard him kidding that he assumed he'd be able to understand everyone in for the first couple of days this year, since the TdF is currently in England and he still made a joke about not understanding the Queen's English...oh well, that's Bob!

O'l Bob doesn't really get to me; in fact we get a good chuckle at his unfailing doofus~ness every time he says that. But it does get old over time. Just thinking it might be time for him to pick another word or phrase to mangle, just for a change. Originally Posted by MM_QFC!

We are busy searching for a bar to spend the evening at on saturday watching the tour. Unfortunately conversations tend to be like this:
Us: "Excuse me, but do you happen to carry the channel Versus?"
Waitress: [blank look] "Versus? Uhmm what is that?"
Us: "Well it's this channel, used to be OLN/Outdoor Life Network..."
Waitress: "No, uh, I think we only get like special sporting events on pay per view, what do you want to watch on that?"
Us: "Well, the Tour de France is on now"
Waitress: "Tour de whuuuh?"
Us: "You know, skinny men on bikes? The things with two wheels, no motors?"
Sigh. And the versus videos won't load on my computer at work, I'll have to try and get them to work this evening once I'm home. I did content myself with reading the play-by-play on the website.

Bobke does that on purpose, I believe he actually speaks French very well.
