Yesterdays coverage was ruined yet again by Kirby. Its unbelievable how this bloke is getting away with it. He talks absolute rubbish. He relies on the viewers not actually listening to what he is saying, because if you listen he has perfected the art of talking nonsense. I think its called ******
I forced myself not to switch to itv4, where David Millar is excellent, actually explaining how the race is being ridden and directed, invaluable information which only an ex-rider can do - include Kelly etc. Hatch is good but he cant do what Millar does in that regard. Millar knew immediately that Froomes rear mech had broken...
So listening to Kirby felt like my head was imploding. He said at one point that the breakaway riders were pulling for their GC guys. Such a shame that Eurosport still keep this buffoon on tv.
There's a word for what you describe. It's called masochism. Why on earth would you subject yourself to my man Carlton Kirby when you have another choice? Are you getting paid to suffer? If not, for the sake of your admittedly fragile state of mental health, I strongly suggest you reach for the remote and turn on another channel.
Geez, I can't leave you guys alone for more than two days before you ramp up the CK nonsense.
Fellas, let's put down the pitchforks for a second and take a breather, m'kay?
I know these must be trying times for you, but I'm afraid I must insist you have it all wrong.
If you don't believe me, why don't you wander on over to msnbc and take a gander at what's going on.
I assure you that you'd take a deep breath, wipe your sweaty brow, and look at the pitchforks by your side and say, "you know what. I think we've got this all wrong."
Carry on, you noble warriors! There is much work that needs to be done.
Godspeed.
