Cincinnati, OH – Headsweats is embarking upon their third year as sponsor for Bob Roll’s Ask Bobke segments featured on NBC and NBC Sports Network during the network’s coverage of the 2012 Tour de France beginning Saturday, June 30th. This is also Headsweats’ fourth year as the official headwear provider for the iconic, 2200-mile cycling race.

Roll is a former cyclist for 7-Eleven Cycling and Motorola and has since become a well-known cycling commentator and author. He once again will host the Ask Bobke segments during NBC Sports Group’s coverage of the Tour de France, answering viewer questions, explaining the nuances of cycling and sharing his passion and understanding of the sport. Racing the Tour de France five times during his career, gives Roll a unique perspective into racing tactics and logistics, and adds an honest human element to the comprehensive coverage.

“Headsweats began with my passion for cycling,” says company founder Alan Romick. “Being involved with the Tour de France, especially Ask Bobke, is great for our brand.”

More information about coverage times, Headsweats’ give-aways and race promotions will be announced soon. Go to www.headsweats.com or www.facebook.com/Headsweats for more information.
