Carlton Kirby


Carlton’s voice is familiar to fans of Motorsports and Cycling both on British Television and throughout the world. For over 20 years, be it the Tour de France, Olympic Games, Monte Carlo Rally or Le Mans 24 Hours, his easy-going manner coupled with incisive commentary and a dramatic edge has made him an audience favourite. His style combines a great depth of knowledge with a warm sense of humour and the sharpest of reactions to make an occasion of any sporting event.

Carlton co-wrote his first book MAGIC SPANNER with Robbie Broughton (Bloomsbury 2019).  In his next book STICKY BOTTLE, Euro Sports star, Carlton, uses the cycling calendar as his template to wheel us at speed around the globe.  It will be published by Bloomsbury in 2023.
