Please get rid of this commentator. His continual chuckling at his own snide comments is too much to bear. And the inane chirps about where he went for breakfast, when he should be talking about the riders. So often while he's going on about some personal snippet, he fails to comment on breaking events in the race. Please Carlton, just go already

I am new to Eurosport1 cycle commentary. The main Giro man was bad enough with his exaggerated Italian pronunciations, but he was bearable . This man Kirby is appalling: he does not tell you anything about the places on the Vuelta, and his tone is arrogant and conceited. The ITV 4 lot can be boring, but at least they don't let their egos get in the way of informed commentary . This fellow Kirby really is awful.

A tired act, with a Brexit mentality. If you're just going to make exhausting puns on foreign riders' names rather than learning anything about them or the land travelled through, get out of the way and let someone with knowledge through. It's not all about UK riders and Ineos. Sean Kelly is the only person he doesn't interrupt with his Breaking News about what he doesn't like about particular camera coverage. He needs to be at the end of a fist of it.

Please stop Carlton from commentating. Don't think anyone other than him finds him funny or enjoy his commentary. Vuelts has become a suffering because of his poor sense of humor and I switch to other languages which I don't understand fully just to avoid listening to his voice. Someone please stop such folks from ruining a great tour.
Eueopsorts should make him listen to own commentary and he can keep laughing at own jokes. !

Anyone who has to laugh at their own ‘jokes’ is NOT funny.

Too much inane laughter at his own 'jokes', can't describe a monument without laughing, what you'd expect from a 5 yr old. Spoilt my viewing.

So much rubbish spoken, errors made Which ruin the commentary. So many new, experienced cyclists commentators available. Give Matt, Dan, Magnus, Marty, Adam or others the chance.

I am watching Vuelta.
His flippant comments are very irritating.
Especially concerning the wonderful scenery and buildings.
He blames other people for not telling him about the surroundings.

agh! I 'm sure i signed this petition when it started..enjoyed the Tour de France and the Giro. Watched one of them on ITV to avoid CK. It's the inane chuckling at his own unfunny comments that makes me suicidal. Something those old enough will remember that tony blackburn used to do. Not sure how i can get to the end of the Vuelta..actually i'm watching it with the sound off..

He conveys the view that he is the star of the show instead of the cycling.

Nasty little Englander
Can't stand the constant chuckles.
He is inane
