I had to go out with 12km to go.
I watched it back on Eurosport and vowed to not listen to anything commentated by Carlton Kirby again.
In a very short time, there was nonsense riffs on the ring road, on battlements, on the flamme rouge and on Fred Wright's name. None was clever or funny, just irritating and distracting.
Also - I managed to see a spoiler on Twitter with 5km to go, but still really enjoyed the action.

Personally, I think it's impressive how much random stuff he can throw in while still pointing out riders. I'm watching the race anyway, the commentary is background noise.
We have this "I don't like commentator x" thing every year. So now we have the "we have this commentator thing every year" every year.

And THAT is why I will endure cremation offers and the poppy lottery.
