John is literally only used on the Tour de France, and his asides are short, whatever one thinks about them. Kirby ruins entire races throughout the season.

He’s a font of useless, irrelevant information and appears to have little understanding of professional cycling. He loves a crash and describing the road surface

Too much gibberish, far too many magnificents and other overused superlatives, too many Let's sees, gets too much wrong etc.

If the rumours, which can be found online, are true, that's not going to happen.
Unfortunately, this would explain why he very suddenly disappeared and was never again mentioned on the channel.

His commentary on the finale of Wednesday's sprint stage unhinged, basically.

His "talcum powder is basically chalk dust" went completely unchallenged the other day. This was also utter nonsense.

The man is an idiot. Wrecks my viewing of cycling on a regular basis. He has an inane laugh which punctuates most of his time on air. Sadly there is nothing to laugh at least of all his own pathetic jokes. Just get rid of him.

ITV4 cover it in the UK if you can get that. The moment Kirby starts his shift on Eurosport, I switch channels.

Have already signed up but have been watching the Tour since stage 1 and putting up with all the hypothetical non factual non stop blotting paper during Carlton’s segments has been difficult to bear. Don’t the powers to be at GCN listen to the broadcasts?

Kirby hasn't even bothered to learn how to pronounce someone as well known as Kwiatkowski - calls him 'Kwiatovski'. Too narcissistic and lazy to bother.
