We turn the sound off when he's on. Inane drivel non-stop, doesn't watch the race, continually giggling at his own, unfunny jokes. So many other good commentators - give them a chance.

It’s his daily ridiculousness statements like today. The racing is very messy, and that’s not good. Unless you play for Barcelona.

Rather than Carlton's endless drivel, I'd rather have prolonged periods of silence broken by meaningful commentary from anyone else.

The nonstop laughter and rubbish makes watching any race Kirby is commentating on watchable. He is horrendous.

Inane and snarky commentary. Mostly interested in laughing at his own jokes.

Please, please, please can we get rid of this bigoted and clueless man. Just hearing his voice is anxiety-inducing. I opted for the French commentary for the GP La Marseillaise because I simply can't stand the man.

Unfortunately Eurosport no longer transmitted by BT Sport, will certainly miss the cycling, however will not miss the inane commentary from Kirby

One of the worst commentators in any sport - constant stream of diarrhoea.

Thank you for getting this going! His verbal flâneurring is just too much to take. True story: a neighbour recently got into watching track cycling and mentioned to me having to look up the events on Wikipedia, as Kirby's commentary was so vague as to be effectively useless or confusing.

When will Eurosport and Carlton Kirby realise that the bike racing is about the bike racing. It is NOT about Carlton Kirby. His inane wittering and constant unfunny jokes (which only he finds funny!) are nauseating. My wife and I often refuse to watch if he is on. I have numerous friends who watch with the sound turned off. Wake up Eurosport. You are ruining the whole experience!!

What is he laughing about? Anybody know? It has completely evaded me! Every other sentence, giggle, giggle, giggle. I can sense that Jo, his co commentator at the track european championships cringes everyone he makes an attempt to be funny and laughs at his own attempt. He's got to get the chop, he is ruining my cycling experience.

I cannot watch the cycling when he is commentating because of his pathetic jokes that only he laughs at.

His casual racism and inability to pronounce place names properly is unacceptable. Given his BBC journalism background I'm surprised that he can't apply himself more professionally. And worse that Eurosport torelate this on air. Make way for the next generation - pass the mic!

The vuelta is over, bye bye Kirby, thank goodness. Oh dear Lord, be merciful! He's back already at the track racing in the Euros. Time to make the reluctant switch to snooker from cycling

Totally inane commentary. He clearly thinks he's the man. I change channels sometimes just because of him.

Oh no!, Kirby's back. I thought we've seen the last of him this season when the Tour of Spain finished, now he's prattling on for Eurosport's covering of the European Track Championship. Give us a break!.
