Would love an electric bike for the green lanes but concerned about their range still though.

PS - Joey seemed a bit handy.

Yeah, they looked nimble! A fear of electric, particularly on MX would be weight, but technology seems to have slimmed down enough now

And yes, good effort Matt LeBlanc with endless wheelies.
Second lot of bikes we've had in the new iteration of Top Gear, which I am thoroughly enjoying. Looking forward to many more series to come hopefully with the current line up

The other guy seemed quiet handy, considering he was a biking novice. Maybe a stand in  :azn:

Chris Harris does also ride bikes.

It was part of a pistonheads article of him learning a few years back. He then bought a Ducati once he passed his test I think

I did wonder whether that was actually the presenters or stand-ins for some of the footage. Alta would obviously want their product shown in the best possible way.  :rofl:

The new Top Gear is awesome and far better than any shite Clarkson's gang have come out with since moving to Amazon. I am really enjoying (most of) it.

But on a dirt bike.  :azn:

Media is edging to the conclusion that both presenters had stand ins.

I too did have that thought, but was giving benefit of the doubt. LeBlanc defo did at least a few of his own wheelies
