Bobke is ripped!

Watching the NBC pre show and Bobke is looking super fit. One of the announcers complimented him on dropping 30lbs since the Tour last year

Good for him....motivation for all of us who could drop some excess baggage.

Is the NBC Sports feed a subscription only service now? No longer free on cable packages?

The feed isn't separate from the programming on NBC Sports if that's what you're asking. If you have the channel you have the feed.

I am trying a few streaming services out this month that include NBCSN. Signed up for free 7 days of slingtv with DVR and HBO and will cancel this coming Friday night. Then going to try fubo. Not sure which one next.

Watching and recording right now.

Bobke fix his teeth aswell, the space is still there (more natural feel) but the chip is gone. Good for him.

Good for Bobke. Now the producers need to tell paul burmeister to stop flexing. He looks like an idiot.

Damnit. I sorta found that guy annoying, but, after you pointed it out, It's excruciating to watch him sit there and do that. It's going to be a long tour.

Edit. Betcha ten bucks he had the wardrobe girl pull the shirt back in the back just so with a few clips.

I had the pleasure of riding with him (and dinner, and driving him around a bit) as part of the UCI race in Winston-Salem, NC a few weeks ago. He's rather fit at the moment. Also pretty entertaining to talk with. Also Kristen Armstrong (and got to hold her gold medal from Rio) and Robbie Ventura. Cool experience.

Bob said the hardest part of his job is the grand tours - 16 hour days, always "on" for the camera, and no time to ride or exercise in general.
