What a pleasure the Giro has been. 3 weeks without this burk, and now he’s back, ruining the Dauphine.
He says nothing of any interest, nothing relevant to what is happening, and nothing relevant to the locality. Such is the repetitive and inconsequential nature of this idiot’s drivel, Eurosport could copy/paste any of his commentaries over any race. Constant mispronunciations, Mis-identification of riders, and a clear lack of any knowledge or effort to research riders or parcours.
Incessant stupid sayings and interruptions of his more knowledgable co-commentators.
“Mobbed across the road, Real estate, Manny Buchmann, Corners describing themselves, This could be a day for Lutsenko, Let’s find out, This is fantastic, Er, Erm, Er...”
Same vacuous inanity every race.

His commentary is like an elderly person’s confabulation - it has the rhythm of conversation but when you analyse it does not make any sense. Continually laughing at his own non-humour.

Oh my God, get rid of him. I mute it whenever he is commenting if I can’t find the race on another channel. He is awful, moronic, clueless & cringeworthy. Why have we had to put up with his cretinous ill informed nonsense for so long. GET RID OF HIM, WORST SPORTS COMMENTATOR EVER!!!!!!!

Kirby is an awful, hysterical 'commentator'. Just cannot listen to him. Will never pay for Eurosport whilst he is there. I prefer to listen to S4C in Welsh - and I don't speak Welsh!

I agree, it’s time for him to go and make way for new blood & one who doesn’t put down riders for facile reasons who are more often than not non-brits

Carlton is all about his ego and his self-superior command of the English language. His prattle is incessant and quickly becomes irritating. Almost better to turn down volume while watching.

He's a Rambler a waffle and has what seems limited Knowledge. At present there are far better commentators and they seem to be all past bike riders .Kirby is a turn off .

He thinks he a humorist. He isn’t. Inane best describes his commentary. Living proof you should not necessarily say everything you are thinking. I also avoid broadcasts he is commenting.

Time to go... and not an event too soon
Painful to listen to. Ruins the enjoyment.
