Get rid of Carlton Kirby

By far the worst cycling commentator I've heard, especially for how many races he works. For every reason listed he MUST be replaced.

I cant understand why Eurosport condone his insulting behaviour towards cyclists and countries. He makes no attempt to pronounce names correctly but rather makes fun of them

Sorry! He drives us bonkers !

I’m fed up with his silly silly jokes and his inane laugh after jokes that nobody finds funny. Stick to commentating on the race.

Totally biased towards UK riders. Gets riders wrong. Never mentions the coarse colonials haha. In short, he is an inconsequential, pompous, unreconstructed stuffed shirt

Very bad commentating

He talk to much. It is very irritating to hear a person talk non stop. I can't even consent rate on the race

Continuous inane comments unrelated to what's happening in the race.

"Magnus have you ever pounded your apples?" Or peak Patridge "those calves like fozen chickens" Or the three years he was convinced Louis Meintjes was going to win every race

Just started watching cycling and couldn’t understand why my husband swears so much about Carlton Kirby. Now I see/hear what sets him off....Kirby talks utter garbage at times - recent example suddenly started on about satsumas!!! Hatch is quite good, Blythe, Been and Lloyd even better and top summariser/expert is Magnus Backstedt. Please, just lose Kirby.

As others have said nothing personal but really not great commentary. The persistence with terrible word play jokes based on riders names is the worst thing for me. The ex riders are showing what we really want to see, like Matt Stephens and Adam Blythe who as a newcomer is a natural and has really hit the ground running and set the standard.

Sick & tired of listening to my husband moan at the bad commentary.

Even Brian Smith said he has a mute button for Carlton Kirby. Good quality commentary makes for a great experience. Poor quality commentary completely spoils it. When we have such skilled and knowledgeable cycling commentators, is it time to give someone else the mic?

Very polarizing, new fans to the sport will be turned off. I tried to show my sister a race and she couldn't get over the fact that he "was constantly trying to be funny but just came off as mean."

Just want proper cycling commentary not boring rubbish. The fans know their sport and want proper commentary not what flavour cheese is found in this region on whatever Carlton is waffling on about. Nothing personal sure he’s a alright bloke but I’m not paying to listen to him - you’ll lose subscribers

He's a very poor Alan Partidge and has to go

Sooner the better. Much better with ex riders comentating

Now well past his 'sell by' date. Outperformed by Dan Lloyd and Adam Blyth and others. Far too many repeated clichés and personal remarks about individual cyclists. Technical knowledge appears to be nil and there are no technical discussions during his commentaries. I too am glad I have a mute button. Along with other gossips (the main one being Rob Hatch) gives away spoilers about races I have not yet watched on Eurosport 'catch up' Time to go Carlton.

Good luck, I can't shake the guys voice from my head one I hear it. Inane nonsense constantly.

Calton Kirby is a terrible commentator made for horse racing, let's get him back there so we can enjoy cycling on Eurosport.
