Go Robin! It took me a few seconds. But those hairy arms were a dead giveaway. :)

Sunday's TdF coverage on CBS showed Lance and "Mork" goofing off for the camera.

I guess I need to see my optometrist right away, my eyesight is fast fading, or I just don't know Robin William, In fact i am not a big fan of Him?

I wonder how much time he would save on a 10 mile time trial if he shaved his arms!

:D

Robin's a little pudgy around the middle for a full-fledged member of the the USPS!

Nice to see a celebrity riding a bike and being a real cyclist. I've heard he's pretty hardcore about his cycling. Must be nice to be rich as hell and have all that time to ride bikes and hang around with Lance in France. I'm jealous.

Yeah, I guess it would be nice to pal around with Lance.
Robin started out in a simple blue and blue jersey but
from what I understand USPS gave him the one in the
picture. From what I've read Robin is more than just
a little hardcore, he owns something like 50 bikes, I've
seen him ride and I'd be hard pressed to keep pace with
him.

At least it's 50 bikes and not 50 cars!

Robin Williams is one heck of a guy. Not only is he active supporting Lance's charities, he is also keen on helping/supporting special athletes like that 10 year old kid who does triathlons even though he lost his 2 legs (up to mid thigh)! He and Robin do team triathlons together.

Check out Robin's video interview at the OLN website, hilarious!
