That MotoGP Eurosport commentator is the worst ever

[zakelwe]

I am sick of him. I thought Cox was bad but the right charlie who comments with James Hayden when Toby and Julian are not there gets right up my nose. He is Alan Partridge in real life. Things that get up my nose are

1) He over eggs everything so everything is brilliant, fabbo, incredible.
2) He says so many cliches that he will occassionally do two back to back which actually contradict each other.
3)He talks about things that are not actually happening and the Hayden has to correct him. Then he fumbles around trying to fit in actuality with his mistake.

He actually does all the bad things Cox does but more so and turned up to 11. Arrrgh.

Is it just me who thinks this?

Totally agree, total **** Head!

Also, anyone noticed this example, repeated for every overtake:

Smith's up the inside, can you hold it - Can Gadea ride back round the outside!

Every time. Eurosport need a kick in the arse!

[Chilli]

Yep, agree there. What happened to Toby and Julian?

[mrmaggit]

Carlton Kirby?

All that was left after the Eurosprot/BBC/Dorna debacle meant that it looked like there would be very limited if any live coverage, so the three amigos got other jobs, only to find at the last minute that Dorna/Eurosprot had decided to do a deal.

That's why you sometimes get Toby and Jules, but not the Peanut Kid..

I just hope next year gets back to normal, but with coverage as this year, ie, no bloody adverts during the races!

I find the MUTE button works best

Toby and Julian are great, but we're still missing Mamola

Agree here as well. Did you hear his little "advert" for the Beeb? He's obviously crawling for a job!

All three posts above-spot on.!

Carlton Kirby ("Can'ttalk Quietly") is Mr Over Excitement himself.

I expect to hear him coming out with- "..He's going down the straight now-just look at the skill..this is fantastic stuff.!"

[Mr. Potato Head]

Dorna have made a right old mess of this.

It's their fault.

Toby & Julian were back before the summer break & my midlife crisis receded...........now a Harley is back on the fkin cards.

WTF is a "flick flack" by the way?

A very tight sharp left sharp right (or the other way round) where the rider moves the bike from one lean angle to the opposite lean angle

Sounds like it wasnt a bad idea to bin sky then, except i have to put up with Charlie Cox, dear god, i dont normally complain about the commentators but he is so damn annoying, constantly trying to be mr funny.

By this do you mean Sky Sports? because Eurosport is part of the 'News & Events' package at Sky.....I'm about to give Sky Sports the elbow after the back door deal with ESPN (partners in name only), picking up where Sultana left off, effectively splitting the same sports package in half.

I'll just keep 'News & Events' for a quid a month thank you very much Mr Murdoch.

Have you ever niticed how many times he says “really”. A 12 lap race and rpthere will be at least 30 “really” and many “really, really”. Simple has a minimal vocabulary.
