Guy Martin looked embarrassed by the whole thing, the Welsh presenter comments were a load of bullshit--it came across as utter tripe.

Guy did a great job and i agree he was embarrassed by the presenter ( a right plonker). Surely the viewers watching this would have an interest in bikes or speed and would have an idea of what they were going to see.

Guy's skill & nerve to ride at that speed, in that environment, with such stresses on his mind & body, is to be applauded. The bloke's a nutter in the nicest sense of the word.

However, the programme came across as amateurish & disjointed. I thought at one point it was a spoof it was so cringeworthy.

I made a big deal of watching it, assembled all the family, big mistake, liked the air plane stuff though!
