Can someone switch Rob Hatch's coffee to decaf? The dude needs to calm the f* down.

You can always turn the sound off and (if available) read the commentary in caption form.
Anyone who can work as a commentator on pro bike races for 5 hours or more per day, day after day, deserves my respect.
I suspect most of us, however knowledgeable about racing, would fail miserably at the job.

I involuntarily yelled "Oh shut up, Rob Hatch" a couple days ago.
He would be fine if he knocked off the ridiculous hyperbole.

Oh my word, what a thread we are having!
It's all happening right here on Bike Forums!
Yes we watch and mock Rob, but I have to say I prefer him to Carlton Kirby's efforts. He does at least know the racers, and the rotating guests on the TNT coverage are often quite good. We watched a couple of races on Peacock where they had the Eurosport coverage with Ant McCrossan, and that was quite good.
