Absolutely intolerable constant drivel and seemingly completely uninformed.

Carlton’s so bad I now just cut the volume and play Spotify instead.

Wish I could sign this over and over. Yet again today we've had the idiocy about the risk of riders 'grounding' the pedal going around a bend. And his inability to resist painfully extending his clichés. So Alaphilippe is a 'fish out of water' today. But a fish is apparently suitable 'physiognomy' for the weather. Excruciating. Talk of going around the bend...

I’d rather watch the Flemish or Italian coverage that listen to CK

First time listener to Kirby. Just awful. Miss Phil and Bob who comment on US coverage of Tour. Thank goodness Dan LLoyd covers for him.

He drives us mad laughing at his own inane jokes and not commentating on the racing going through all the riders saying they could all win but he’ll have a cheeky bet!

I have complained to Eurosport about Carlton Kirby's inane comments a number of times number in recent years, like others, and have suggested that they rein him in. He considers himself fireproof judging by the way he responds to comments. I don't want anybody to lose their job but such arrogance as shown by Carlton Kirby is really annoying. A shock to his system should hopefully be enough to make him a more responsible commentator like the others on Eurosport and ITV4.

Keep Dan Lloyd and add one of the other GCN guys. Kirby's constant dad jokes, followed by pause for the laugh that never comes, are just grating

Eurosport has such talented commentators--Matt Stephens, Magnus Backstedt, Dan Lloyd, Rob Hatch, Brian Smith. Such a shame when we have to listen to Carlton Kirby. At least I can often switch to a different language audio if one is running that I know well enough

Nope. Clearly his co-commentators are astonished by his ignorance but too polite/ professional to say anything. As one regular co-commentator said, ‘He needs to take a holiday - a long loooooooong holiday and not come back’.

His truly awful commentating ruins so many races. I have to turn off the volume it’s not ideal but it has to be done

Can you start an additional one to get rid of Sean 'yes, well, erm' Kelly? Kirby and Kelly together are just awful.
