Carlton Kirby True Tales of the Tour de France

Wed 21 Jun, 20:00

We are delighted to welcome Carlton Kirby, the Voice of Cycling, on the eve of the 2023 Tour de France, for an evening of tall tales and frank opinions from his 25 years’ covering the sport.

In a funny and revealing evening for all cycling fans, Carlton will be sharing his front-row experiences from the Tour de France and other big races – plus the lessons he’s learned from life on the road, as a bon viveur in budget hotels across Europe.

Carlton Kirby has been in the Eurosport commentary box for a golden age of British cycling and the evening will also include stories of his not-always-happy dealings with British stars from Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome to Mark Cavendish.

Carlton will be in conversation with former Procycling magazine writer Duncan Steer.

Carlton will also be signing copies of his new book ‘Sticky Bottle: The Cycling Year According to Carlton Kirby'.
