Has ruined my enjoyment of my favourite sport for years, lacks knowledge, charisma, and any personality. He also perpetuates European stereotypes !

Why would anyone be so offensive to a large group of people whose enjoyment of televised cycling is consistently spoiled by this individual, when his very job is to enhance it?
Would you not expect to be sacked if you did the opposite of your job? He is providing a service (

Your criticism would be better placed focusing on Mr Kelly who has in my does not understand how and why people communicate- he rambles and repeats himself, every time his mic is turned on
He has a ton of knowledge but is incapable of summarising anything

He is a title...his conversations with Magnus are cringeworthy (17-08-21) . TDF is ok because I can watch itv4 , but when there is no option its sound down

Unable to watch the Vuelta live, so just watch highlights. Stage 3 today. I had no idea what was going on most of the time or who was where. I've been watching Grand Tours since 1986 and have never seen commentary so bad.

His continual use of inane and inappropriate catchphrases such as "chapeau to him" and "another stellar performance" contribute nothing informative, other than enhance his obvious love of hearing himself prattle on.

Kirby is irritating. When ITV4 is covering the TdF I watch that and enjoy the knowledgeable comments from David Millar. Come on
Eurosport, employ Millar!

Kirby's laughing so loudly, could not hear Maggie's observations. Use Matt Stephens, Rob Hatch or anyone else
