SHOUTING does not equate to the expression fo sincere enthusiasm. In fact, when contrived, it is the opposite. What an insult to a sport of such beauty.
I agree with others here, his IS the voice of cycling for me. Not only does he liven up the dullest transition stages in a Grand Tour with his funnies, sharp observations and banter with co-commentators, his calling of finishes is second to none in my view. Also, his respect for his co-commentators is clear, Sean Kelly, Brian Smith, Matt Stevens et al all get to have their say without interruptions – unlike another I shan't mention who simply reads through rider names, interrupts experts pointlessly and sucks the life out of every race he's commenting upon…
Iljo Keisse’s win was probably the most nerve wrecking I have ever seen. An extra 50 m and he definitely would have lost the race. Top that with Carlton Kirby stumbling upon his words. Remarkable
Peter sagan just showing himself up hes found space dont seem to exist but hes just there oh my god hes gotta done it again what about that there is only one peter sagan -Carlton Kirby

Carlton Kirby plus Sean Kelly! 🙂

Beat announcer ever
Who’s the stupid bitch commentating these days? She has nothing of value to say
I live listening to Carlton Kirby commentating, on any sports that he does.
One of the best commentators in any sport. You can tell he lives for the sport.

Complete idiot. I switch to french when he comes on.
Not to put too fine a point on it but he was excellent when he commentated on DTM and Sports cars at Le Mans too. Really a VERY good commentator.
There arnt any, The fat fool Kirby ruins everything,
Love it. Hes an entertainer. I dont need be bored with rider's stats and watts and shit, i just want to be entertained.
Carlton is The Man!! 👍🏴❤️🚵♂️
I wish he wasn’t so reserved in his commentary. He sounds completely disinterested😂😂😂😂
He’s a fool and pox on cycling.
I can no longer watch anything he commentates on, I have to switch to another language he makes me so angry.
