We are delighted to welcome Eurosport's lead cycling commentator Carlton Kirby, the Voice of Cycling, to the Nutshell in Winchester, for an evening of tall tales and frank opinions from his 25 years’ covering the sport, on the eve of the 2022 Tour de France.

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 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.
