If you enjoy cycling, watching the Grand Tours, or just the Tour de France, Carlton Kirby is a voice synonymous with the world of professional cycling.
The man on commentary, who sustains a continuous stream of comment, opinion, anecdote, interesting facts, the odd joke and humorous aside, as well as explaining what is happening in the race, the stage profile, the tactics and machinations - often for hours at end.
But so much goes on between stages. The world of cycling broadcasting when the mics are switched off.
At last, Carlton Kirby has revealed all. Literally. To some Japanese. But read the book....
Full of insight, forthright opinion, funny stories tales of Sean Kelly's driving. A very enjoyable book.
To some people Carlton is a love/hate figure. Which he addresses. A Marmite man.
I like Marmite.
