Let's take the Wayback Machine to the 2006 Tour of Utah, to hear Bob Roll give an interview to KCPW's Julie Rose. Of Note:

00:41 - cycling ratings "as strong as hockey" on OLN

01:14 - on American stage races, "Tour de Georgia's big"

02:08 - re: Tour DAY France pronunciation,"You say it right; I'm just kidding"

04:19 - "Post-Lance worldwide there's—the ratings are down for all countries"

05:20 - re: TdF production logistics, "A lot of Hollywood people are like, 'you've gotta be kidding'"

06:40 -  re: doping, "OK so, during the Tour they probably carry out a thousand anti-doping procedures…"

09:22 - re: Landis, "Not enough testosterone in the world to triple your levels in a urine sample in 24 hours time"

10:00 - Testosterone "helps the muscles, you know, absorb nutrients, and that's not what you want as a bike racer"

10:31 - "During Lance's seven years reign there was [sic] very few stories and nothing substantial"

11:29 - French Media Conspiracy begins

12:26 - "And I'm not talking about the race organizers"

12:43 - "This is five guys…" [Apparently running the conspiracy?]

13:03 - "And you can't really say too much about it when you're racing, but now I can talk about it, since it's my job…"

14:06 - "No matter how many tests Lance took—thousands—all negative—thousands of tests, they find no qualms with disregarding all of those and moving forward with the preposterous agenda that nobody believes…"

15:09 - Sick ringtone.

15:58 - "At night, I've drank so much in the evening that I pass out and I'm dead to the world"

17:30 - "The feeling of satisfaction that you get after a bike ride…is something that I haven't really experienced as a journalist"

17:59 - "The cameraman films the opening and goes to sleep for five hours"
