Why is he still on Eurosport after all this time? Does he have something on the bosses? And why-o-why did they give him the plum commentary slot (along with the excellent MB) for the last 70km of ToF?? Madness

The man clearly has very little knowledge of the sport and ruins any race he commentates on, there are much better commentators on Eurosport such as Jose Been and Dan Lloyd

Get him off the air. But first get him to explain his comments about 1 Valverde being happy that Quintana crashed? And the “spitefulness of basque & Spanish riders?

He just talks gibberish.....if only he would shut up...nothing he says is interesting....everything he says is complete rubbish....he ruins the coverage of cycling....he is the worst sports commentator I've ever heard. I'm sure hes a nice bloke but please please please give him a bonus and give him indoor bowls, anything so that he stops commentating and ruining eurosport cycling coverage

The art of commentating on a particular sport is much dependant on creating a picture of what is going on and understanding that sport. CK falls short on both.

Terrible pronunciation and scoffs when corrected, get rid

Totally agree with the comment of replacing CK with Jose Been. You don’t need to be an ex-pro you just need to be well informed and talk about the racing that’s in front of you.

The perfect experiential definition of horrific disappointment is when Dan Lloyd said Carlton Kirby is taking over at 70 km to go in the ToF yesterday. Its like long-term torture. Please make it go away......

Dread to find he’s commentating on a a race. Talks absolute drivel and ruins enjoyment of watching any race he’s commentating on.

Ruined yet another classic with his unique brand of hysterical, nonsensical drivel. Hasn't got a clue how a bike race works. Insulting.
