Jose Been is superb on commentary on GCN. Pleeeease let this be the year Kirby retires or gets found with some troubling stuff on his hard drive.
So much better than Matt Stephens, who often seemed to just repeat/ paraphrase what she just said. Like a nervous Greg Wallace.

I quite like Matt Stephens as a presenter but he’s definitely still finding his feet as a commentator.
I’ve followed a brain-melting amount of sport in the last year and I can’t think of any sport/channel (with the exception of possibly Test Match Special) where some aspect of commentary doesn’t grate.
The coverage of pro cycling is superb (helicopters FFS!) in pretty much every other respect. But y’know - we’ve all got to have something to complain about

She’s very good. Has a real passion for cycling. Met her a couple of times when she did the coverage for races in Luxembourg; nice person, super passionate.
