I used to hate Kirby but after so many years it’s like I don’t even hear him anymore, and even in some perverse way, perhaps I even like him, Stockholm syndrome style.
On the subject of commentary, something that really grinds my gears on Eurosport is the talk of “brown knicks (Robbie McEwen I’m looking at you), though Blythe and Hatch are enablers. At least once in every stage race this season, typically mid-descent in a mountain stage, McEwen has brought up how riders would be effectively so terrified flying downhill that they’d soil their bibshorts, which then allows them all to discuss how AG2R riders need not worry. It doesn’t get any funnier each time it’s repeated.
