When I first saw him, I mistook his mis-pronunciation "
Tour day France" for ignorance. Despite the distracting hand gestures, Bob is quite knowledgeable and entertaining, though for me he's a bit of an acquired taste. I must say that he did irritate me a bit with his joke answer of how fast the riders were traveling going up the mountain climbs the other day. Perhaps that was another inside joke, but I would have liked to have heard a more serious answer. Anybody with the chutzpah to ride up next to Fignon in the peleton and ask "How's it hanging Larry?" has a special place in my heart.

I like Bobke.
