Carlton Kirby's True Tales of the Tour De France

Join legendary cycling commentator Carlton Kirby for a hilarious and revealing evening of stories from 25 years of covering the world's biggest races.

Known as the Voice of Cycling, Carlton has spent more than two decades bringing the drama, excitement, and occasional chaos of the Tour de France and other major cycling events to audiences worldwide.

Now he's stepping out of the commentary box to share his unforgettable experiences, frank opinions and behind-the-scenes stories from a golden age of British cycling.

From encounters with cycling stars including Bradley Wiggins, Mark Cavendish and Sean Kelly to the unexpected adventures of life on the road, Carlton reveals what really happens away from the cameras. Expect plenty of humour, colourful anecdotes, and tales from budget hotels across Europe.

Often compared to legendary sporting commentators Henry Blofeld, Murray Walker and Sid Waddell, Carlton is renowned for his quick wit, distinctive commentary style and ability to turn any moment into an entertaining story.

In conversation with former Procycling magazine writer Duncan Steer, this is a rare opportunity to get up close with one of cycling's most recognisable voices.

Whether you're a dedicated cycling enthusiast or simply enjoy a great sporting story, expect an evening packed with laughter, insight and unforgettable moments.
