You heard it here first, Bob "Tour DE France" Roll has signed on to a one-year contract with HRAdventure. Maybe he wants to go to
Croatia in Sept? Here's a photo from the press conference:
More truthfully, we had a chance to hear him speak (thanks to
BikeBeat!) and snagged him at the end to make him an
honorary team member. What a character that guy is; in person, he is much
much more animated and zany than during the Tour TV broadcasts -- they must hit him with bear tranquilizers or something before they start taping their Tour TV coverage. I definitely need to pick up his books and enjoy more of his anecdotes.
For the record, Lance Armstrong, Floyd Landis, and now Bob Roll can all enjoy a 10% discount on a future HRAdventure event.
