Really bad Eurosport coverage of TdF Teams Presentation

We're really looking forward to the Tour getting underway, so after returning home from work today, I sat down with my wife to watch the half hour programme which we recorded on Eurosport earlier today, covering the 'highlights' of presentation of the Tour de France teams.
We both found it really frustrating to watch and listen to as Carlton Kirby and Bryan Smith just talked on and on over the voices of the guys on stage presenting the teams. Carlton and Bryan weren't even translating what the presenters were saying or telling us the names of the more obscure team members as they were introduced. They were just wittering on about things that they will have plenty of time over the next 3 weeks to talk about during the Tour coverage.
It was very frustrating, so much so that we were actually glad that our recorded coverage was cut short as the programme before overran - par for the course for Eurosport.
Interested to hear if others felt the same about the presentation coverage.

Yeah, this to be honest. Eurosport coverage could actually be made better by getting rid of a commentator. Carlton Kirby will never have a place in my very cycling specific heart.
