The thing about Robbie though is that - like most sprinters in particular - you have to assess his behaviour in the hours before and after a race differently to his personality outside that timeframe. If you see him in most post race interviews you get the impression he would be tense, agressive and self centred all day every day.
I have met him a few times over the years away from race events - on and off the bike - and found him to be a pretty calm, chilled out guy who was interested in what other people were doing (training, life, etc).
Will happily be buying a copy!
I've met him several times off the bike and he has been very warm and friendly. I purchased one of his Green Tour jerseys a number of years back at the TDU and on the morning of the last stage he was well and truly last out of the hotel. Despite race time drawing near he was as friendly as anything, stopping for a prolonged chat, pointing out the various places in the jersey there were safety pin holes and various other marks. Happily posed for photos. Then casually rode off to the start of the last stage and did one of his trademark wins, coming from nowhere in the last few seconds.
