[515mm]

Who the hell is the commentator? - 40 seconds in and I wanted to slit my own throat.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh

I'm guessing Carlton Kirby has the microphone...

What a drooooooooning voice........

Carlton Kirby was okay on the Tour of Qatar.

I wonder if it's Anthony Macrossan? (Sp?)

Apparently it is, but it didn't sound like Carlton. Maybe he has a really bad cold and has a bag over his head.

And half the programme is taken up by a travelogue on Oman... as beautiful as it looks.. more cycling please..

Poor old Carlton - there are threads on numerous message boards suggesting he shouldn't be allowed to commentate on anything...

I tried to watch the coverage, honest. But that voice just had me switching it off!

 

[ianrauk]

He makes Sean Kelly sound like excitable gibbering chatterbox

I stopped watching the ToQ, not only was the commentary boring so was the course.

True but I need my fix even so. Bring on the classics!

I've just listened to last night's and that isn't Carlton Kirby. I don't recognise him at all.
