That was great piece on Bob's upbringing into cycling! The last few days have been great with you and Phil! RIP Paul Sherwin your story telling will remain with us for ever!
I've never been a cyclist and have grown to love the sport over the last 20 years. Every year I begin to think about the Tour in January with such anticipation. At 75, each year is a milestone. My introduction to cycling has always included Bob Roll, who in my opinion, is a national treasure. The mold was made, then thrown away for this very special commentator and great American.
I really enjoy listening to Bobke. I loved his channel and how he is passionate yet funny and honest in his commentaries. Paul is missed greatly not only by his fans but so proud and humbled by the outpouring of love and respect he achieved in his years. The tributes have been beautiful. Bobke, Paul is definitely with you and Phil in that trailer. You are doing him proud and stepping rather nicely into some amazing shoes. Keep on being "Bsd to the Bone Caveman!" And God Bless you!
Bob, Phil and Paul are the best sports broadcasters, hands down. Thanks Bob for all you bring of your knowledge of cycling to the rest of us.

Brings back a lot of great memories of the Coors Classic too. Growing up in Colorado, it was a huge annual event, and had become international in scope. Miss Paul, but Bob will take the torch and carry on.
GREAT interview! thanks for putting it on. I don't ride but I make it a point to watch the Tour every year and the coverage is why I know what a peloton is let alone a domestique. great stuff, this sport.
An American original. Absolute Icon of cycling. One of the voices who have done so much to spread the gospel and make cycling a mystical experience for so many. Love Bobke unconditionally.
Great interview! I’ve been watching the Tour ever since LeMond won for the first time and Bob Roll is quite simply the best analyst in sport. Loved hearing his personal story!
I remember seeing the 7-11 team in Minneapolis a couple of times but I can't say if Bob Roll was part of the team. This was a very enlightening video. I had no idea Roll was such a strong and competitive force in the peloton. And mostly self-taught.
Very cool - old man now - Bobke has meant much to me and provided so many laughs over the years Thank You Bob. I miss Paul Sherwin greatly…prayers for Paul.
Ah yes, he's also a poet. He weaves phrases that instantly communicate what his vision is. He takes you there with such ease and economy of words. A real poet!
I had no idea Bobke's background was so incredible. What's more incredible is how he continued to call it the Tour "day" France for so many years despite SURELY knowing he was pronouncing it wrong XD
Thanks Bob and yes biking has the best stadium in the world. I always looked forward to your partner’s narrative of what I was looking at. Bless his heart. See you at next years Tour de France.
Bob came to speak at our District 1 end of year ceremonies once back in the day. His stories of riding the Giro, Pantani, Bugno, etc... had everyone in stitches, except for the local Italian immigrant contingent who took umbrage at his stories of the Tifosi. He was hilarious none the less.
great video, i really like Bob Roll i am so happy for him he worked hard for everything he got nothing was handed to him, like today's society, and i am glad he is doing the TDF show with Mr. Liggette. But i must say I really miss Paul Sherwin.
How could you not love bob roll He made it old fashion way
He truly is one of the funniest and most engaging storytellers I've ever heard. Thank you so much, NBC, for sharing this with us!
Bobke is the best! Glad you decided to stay on to commentate...wouldn't be the same without you! RIP Paul.
My thoughts exactly! Bob is a legend, just as Paul, it would be horrible for both of them to not be on this year.
Team 7/11 introduced me to cycling. Thanks for the journey.
Love you Bobke, been watching you since 86!!! Cycling in America would not be the same without you!!

Bob Roll is an enigma... most of all he's an icon. What he brings to the table is irreplaceable and he does it with class and the everlasting smile.
Always great to hear the Bob Roll stories. Keep them coming!

I just watched this today. What a great interview. Bob Roll is an original.
I giggled. Thank you Bobke! I love you man. Life is cooler because of you. If I could shake your hand, I’d shake.
Awesome and inspiring to hear this time capsule of the cycling world. Thanks guys great interview
What a great interview! Bob Roll, you are a national treasure. Certainly to the cycling community at least.
Bob is one of my heroes. Please attempt something like this with Frankie Andreu and Sean Yates. All legendary domestiques.
Agreed! Frankie is sorely missed in the live commentary on modern racing.
Love Bob Roll and his everyman's approach to a sport steeped in European history and tradition.Great interview!
This is as awesome as Bob Roll himself; Thanks!!! Sparks in Daytona
bobke what a character
I wish this video was 4 hrs long. Paul B. is a superb interviewer, and Im glad NBC recognizes Bob’s incredible value to the sport.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Bob Roll story. Gr8 guy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
First time I"ve really heard any of the broadcast team talk about Paul Sherwin, very nice and thoughtful.
Off the script that was great thank you👍🏻
I love this guy. One of a kind. A big heart.
Grew up Racing through that Era... Was a Hugh Lemond Fan.... I am now a Bigger Bob Rolls Fan! # Respect. 😃
Hugh Lemond doesn't get the credit he deserves.
An American original. Absolute Icon of cycling. One of the voices who have done so much to spread the gospel and make cycling a mystical experience for so many. Love Bobke unconditionally.
So cool to stumble upon this...great stories told Bob's way! Well done Paul and Bob!
Bob Roll is so much fun to listen to. He is irreverent, knowledgeable, and funny. Thanks for sharing this story! 🙂
Bobke,he’s a Classic,always unscripted.Great stories.Bigup Bob.
Really brings it to a personal level that will help me appreciate his commentary so much more. Thank you.
Great interview! I’ve been watching the Tour ever since LeMond won for the first time and Bob Roll is quite simply the best analyst in sport. Loved hearing his personal story!
I remember seeing the 7-11 team in Minneapolis a couple of times but I can't say if Bob Roll was part of the team. This was a very enlightening video. I had no idea Roll was such a strong and competitive force in the peloton. And mostly self-taught.
I enjoyed the interview almost as much as I did watching Bob Roll and the 7-Eleven team clean up in the 1986 Santa Cruz, California criterium.
Very enjoyable interview. Bob Roll is outstanding.
Very cool - old man now - Bobke has meant much to me and provided so many laughs over the years Thank You Bob.
I miss Paul Sherwin greatly…prayers for Paul.
Bob has saved the TdF for me. I was dreading the loss of Paul Sherwen(RIP).
Thanks for stepping up Bobke.
I love Bob and his commentary, it would be cool to meet him some time
Awesome Interview! Paul Burmeister actually understands the sport. Thanks!
What a delight, Bob you are so well spoken, Thank you!
Great respect for an American sports hero. Thanks, Bob Roll for represent'n.
It was great to get to know Bob Roll. Thank you for the interview!
Bob! You're great! Major Taylor @4:23...Wow! Great that you mentioned him.
Bob, is amazing!
Thank you so much, Mr. Roll.
I love history shared during the tour, i look forward to seeing and learning the history along with the racing coverage.
Wow, what a great story. I always liked him but now to know his story. Pretty special.
The whole interview is just awesome. Good job Paul and Bob.
Love Him,great memories,thank you Bob.
Ah yes, he's also a poet. He weaves phrases that instantly communicate what his vision is. He takes you there with such ease and economy of words. A real poet!
Love the TDF. Thanks for being there with me Bob Roll.
Fantastic interview!
Love these stories and love Bobke!
Amazing stories and insights Bob Roll, thanks for sharing and I should probably read your book if it contains more of this.
I had no idea Bobke's background was so incredible. What's more incredible is how he continued to call it the Tour "day" France for so many years despite SURELY knowing he was pronouncing it wrong XD
Fond memories of the old 7-11 team. I once met Ron Kiefel at a race in Maryland and he seemed so thrilled that I even knew who he was!
Love that guy
Awesome interview & story! Thanks
What a great interview. Thanks very much.
This was great. Thank you all! RIP Paul.
Fantastic. My era of cycling inspiration.
I still have my Proflex 957 which I believe was the bike that Roll rode during his last NORBA season.
I really miss Paul announcing at this years tour. And will forever miss his contribution to the sport of cycling. :-(
Can’t get enough!! Great 👍 job!!
Great shout out to Berkeley Bicycle Club!
Bobke rules! Awsome. Thanks.
Total class! Love Bobke
Thanks Bob and yes biking has the best stadium in the world. I always looked forward to your partner’s narrative of what I was looking at. Bless his heart. See you at next years Tour de France.
Very cool! Thanks for the stories Bob!
I love Bob !!!
Really nice interview. Go BOBBYROLL!
Love Bob. Such a good guy.
Bobke, you Rock!!!
"Off Script". I don't think Bob Roll is ever "on script"
Outstanding!
Bob is the man
Bob came to speak at our District 1 end of year ceremonies once back in the day. His stories of riding the Giro, Pantani, Bugno, etc... had everyone in stitches, except for the local Italian immigrant contingent who took umbrage at his stories of the Tifosi. He was hilarious none the less.
Bobke is still the man!!!RIP Paul 🙏
great video, i really like Bob Roll i am so happy for him he worked hard for everything he got nothing was handed to him, like today's society, and i am glad he is doing the TDF show with Mr. Liggette. But i must say I really miss Paul Sherwin.
Just loved this!
We love you Bob!!!! We cherish a picture you took with us on the top of Woody's Gap, Tour De' Georgia! "Who loves you babe? Bob does!"
Outstanding
Omg. Bob Roll is the best.
Go Bobke! Much love!
The look on the interviewer's face at 2:53 is priceless!!!
Just love him. He needs a show. Loe to see him take us back to the Bay Area on a bike. That is an Episode.
Cycling in your blood 100% or its not...For Bob 101%. Every year i look forward to his commentary and experience on all races he covers.....
