The man himself tweeted this only yesterday, he's quite emboldened on Twitter since his idol's innocence has been declared.

KIrby is the biggest tool ever...what kind of tweet was that from a professional broadcaster.....
I know there never was any doubt he was in the Froome camp but that tweet is ridiculous...Trying to blame fans for questioning Froome...has he no idea of the history of the sport and how fans feel constantly suspicious because of previous 'heros'

What happend to impartiality...:rolleyes:

The media should not be cheerleaders... right?

Carlton was so busy cheering on Cav in the sprint today that he almost forgot to pay attention to the 5 riders that beat him.

He let them finish ahead of him as he knows that they need it more than he does. Or something charitable like that.

I like cav. He's older, more mellowed and seems like a nice guy. I wouldnt mind seeing him take a stage this year if possible.

I pray that quigley is commentating if he does though.

Looking at the overhead of the sprint from yesterday, he swerves badly when Sagan moves to pass him. I don't think he's gotten over the crashes, and it'll have to be a very 'clean' sprint if he's to win one again.

Cav does seem to have mellowed, but he was one grumpy fecker for years. I'd like to see him win a stage though, deserves to go out on a high. Chances of him catching Merckx's record seem remote now

Ah now come on. Tell the truth and shame the devil.

He may have mellowed, but he was whining about other cyclists tactics and how they were dangerous to the BBC. The old, you know who they are etc

The first timei I heard him chuckle away to himself about wild boar or deride some local architecture or obsess about the same rider I knew how I felt

I wasn't a major cav fan after some of his shenanigans in the Olympics ( maybe 5 years ago ) but agreed he is a nice guy. However Carlton cheerleading him on and encouraging the other presenters to do same is painful. I think Cav is now bemused with the attention.

Chatter - Kirbys word for the vibrations felt by a rider going over cobbles......

Jesus, with Tommy V not taking part in le tour I thought we would be spared Carltons constant rambling about his gurning. Nope, "Tommy is usually a very handsome man but when he's on a bike...." Gurning .

Esroh

What the hell does..
"He sets a flame under the crucible and digs deep "
Mean .

He's not calm, he's calm. Using his legs flamboyantly wtf

He's called the team car up for a bottle.
He has a bottle in his cage
Maybe it's an empty bottle to stop people like us questioning his thirst.
Which we just did

I don't mind his stupid references like "stand clear of the line there's a train coming through"

I just hate the stupid french pronunciation of all the riders names, even if there not French! It's not just Carlton who does it, it seems to be a Eurosport thing. Give me ITV4 anyday

:eek: 15mins of ads in the hr highlights, and Millars Sooooooo posh pronunciations.... I'm not sure.
I do like Ned Boulting though. Maybe if he swapped with Kirby ?

"He casts his bottle asunder!"

Aside, Carlton. Aside.

"G" makes a break, Carlton creams his pants

Suffrage is not the same as suffering Carlton.
