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.

His offensive remarks are too much.

He is discourteous to the riders, knows nothing about the efforts involved and does not understand tactics

It's about time some of these commentators learned that less is indeed more!

In addition to all the other stated reasons, he constantly talks over the co commentators, most of whom are certainly more well versed the than he. However he is the Eurosport guy so probably GCN has no say. Grrrr.

Never mind the fact that he says completely inappropriate things. I think it was stage one of Volta Algarve, he was talking about wine or something and then his segue to introducing his co-commentator was something like “speaking of things a little fruity, with me today…”

Comedy is for professionals. Stop thinking you can be funny- you aren't.
Stop sucking your saliva through your teeth- it's not pleasant to listen to.

KC is the most extraordinary affront to pro cycling commentary it is beyond comprehension as to how and why he remains there.

he's just the worst commentator ever, the constant mispronounced rider name's is infuriating, and his annoying need to say rider name's in a foreign accent, and his unrelated drivel everytime there is a few seconds dead air...

I just can't stand the way he tries to speak the Italian names like he's an Italian the man ruins the program.

I decided to look him up online because he I wanted to know who this guy is and why he is a commentator. As others have said, he goes on and on about not much, laughs at his own jokes because no one else does, and often mis-reads race situations. I suppose he is supposed to be a “color commentator”? I’m sorry, he’s just “not my cup of tea.”. Magnus Backstedt is much more knowledgeable, is well spoken, and is enjoyable to listen to. Truly no offense, but there must be better choices than Mr. Kirby. Please find one!
