Agree while heartedly. Carlton Kirby's commentary is out of touch and extremely biased to what he wants or thinks is going to happen ratter than what's actually happening. He brings the whole experience down for me the point I have to turn the sound off at times which is a shame as the others are switched on

This man brings nothing to cycle racing commentary. He doesn't appear to be able to recognise riders or even teams, doesn't understand the significance of much of what is happening and spouts utter drivel most of the time. I feel blissful relief on finding he is not on the commentary team for a particular race or when ITV are covering the same race. He has somehow blagged his way in to the commentary game, but is only plausible to someone with little or no knowledge of the sport. Please take him off Eurosport.

Sorry, much better commentators around these days. Less biased. More knowledgeable.

Can't stand this commentator. He is the worst. I cannot understand how he still holds the job of commentator.

The sort of commentator that thinks wearing novelty socks makes you funny. They don’t.

THE OTHER (NEWER) EX-PRO COMMENTATORS MAKE THIS GUY LOOK SO EMPTY AND DEVOID OF RACING KNOWLEDGE. INSIPID, TIRESOME, REPETITIVE, AND SO IGNORANT OF WHAT IS REALLY OCCURING ON THE ROAD. PLEASE LET HIM RETIRE. PLEASE. CANNOT EVEN WATCH WHEN HE'S COMMENTATING ANY MORE.

I wonder if those who employ Mr Kirby have ever sat and listened to him. He talks incessantly about riders whose names he likes (Louis Me

Literally can’t watch racing with the sound up when he is commentating.
Unbearable
