    Maybe it's just me folks but I think to anyone that follows cycling there's very little to be gained from listening to the commentaries on ES. For me if there's no raw feed on the player, it's volume down, there's nearly enough info with the on screen graphics and maybe supplement with the race website.

    Kirby et al just bore/irritate me a lot of the time.

    He did a great link between “wild boar” and Duran Duran in last years tour,

    In fairness it must be difficult to talk live for 4 hours when nothing is happening apart from Sky sitting on the front

    I cant listen to him anymore, he is nauseating this year in particular.
    Froome froome froome,Sky,Froome, is all we hear.

    Yesterday at the dauphine he was constantly spouting on about team sky, nothing new ofcourse but i really have enough at this stage.
    If it wasnt that it was "G" G fcuking this G fcuking that , id say half the viewers hadnt a clue what he was on about .

    Lemans 24hrs is on from now till Sunday and Kirby is commentating as he does every year.
    He's actually very good and I don't get why he's such a fool while doing the commentary on the cycling.

    He does know his motor sport. I think the first I heard of him was commentating on DTM and ALMs years ago for Motors TV.

    Speed skating too. He seemed to know his stuff on that during the winter olympics.

    Eurosport should have a G jar at the tour. Every time Carlton calls Geraint Thomas G he has to put a fiver in it. Eurosport be having one he'll of a piss up in Paris then

    Another reason not to renew my Eurosport subscription!?

    http://media.eurosport.com/pressR/name/Eurosport_signs_Sir_Bradley_Wiggins_for_exclusive_Tour_de_France_digital_series/id/6989/folder/Press%20Releases/folderId/22/;jsessionid=B333297BA4E7EAF6F31DC52A8EA73960.prem1

    Europort obviously have no shame. Did they read the UK's DCMS committee which effectively concluded he doped/cheated to win the Tour? Maybe it's no surprise as they have Virenque and others with a dark past as part of their coverage.

    An odd choice though and likely to piss off those already tired of the heavy British/Team sky bias.

    The only saving grace is that he may just be restricted to a podcast role with little or no on-air contribution.

    On the other hand he may be tempted to rip the piss out of Sky and Froome. I suppose that's probably their thinking in hiring him - he'll be controversial like! Highly unlikely though.

    for the same reason Liggett had a man crush on Lance. He knows what side his bread is buttered on. It pays to keep 'well-in' with the sport's biggest 'star'.

    Is it really though, maybe its because social media is inherently biased to put up stories you agree with nowadays but the general vibe I get is that Team Sky are toxic unless they chuck him and a few others at the top.
