On the eve of the 2025 Tour de France, Carlton Kirby, the Voice of Cycling, brings a night 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 is the last in the line of the great character commentators - cycling's answer to cricket's Henry Blofeld, F1's Murray Walker or darts' Sid Waddell. He has been in the 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 and his gantry partner-in-crime Sean Kelly.

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