Stig vs Clarkson vs Hammond vs May - CROSS LONDON RACE | Top Gear 

Pendennis Castle "What is all this!? This isn't a car!"

Pendennis Castle i have heard he is stored in a wooden box all the time besides when they record the shows

Pedro Pereira you mean some say he's stored in a wooden box ?

All Leeds Ain't We thats right dude u got it

When I first saw you name I thought it said penis castle

+srinitaaigaura isn't the Stig Perry McCarthy

+Rush Fan oh that's what Google said

+Amin Naqvi Perry Mcarthy was the black suited stig in clarkson's first series when the stig character was introduced. the next stig was ben collins who then revealed himself a few years later and now they have a new stig who, as he wasn't involved in the 'disagreement' and he the character was owned by BBC worldwide and not clarkson had to stay on with the new Topgear with chris evans

TomSee has the new Top Gear aired in the UK yet because it will air in May on BBC America

not that I know of BBC america may be showing the last episodes of series 22 which is the last series with clarkson hammond and may. chips evans' top gear hasn't started to be edited yet as far as I know, I check quite a lot

James: every single motorist Hammond: average cyclist The Stig: average tourist Jeremy: Jeremy

Didn't they say there wasn't a speed limit on the Thames?

Best comment.

@@SpeedBird6780 Yes, and since this was filmed the speed limit on the Thames has been reduced substantially. So it can never be repeated. I believe this is because of the number of upstream ferries.

@@JoseLopez-ox6en No.

lol

I like the picture you have sir

It did say in one of these episodes that he gets confused by stairs

True

actually he wanted to go slowly

Adam Commenting The Thames.

TraustiGeir Yea I know of The Thames. Everybody knows of The Thames flowing through London. Isn't it what the city is known for anyways? I think my question was more on about how you could forget it.

Adam Commenting I guess I just never considered it a mode of inner city transportation. Caught me a bit off guard.

Cigarettes.

@@jamespoole3531 and no exercise most likely

@@jamespoole3531didn’t they all smoke lol? I do feel like Hammond was a bit more fit than Clarkson and not just cause of cigarettes

@@ronyolo8419 It's much more difficult to run when you have sit on a boat for a while - your body is then not prepared to running, it has to turn up first. Meanwhile after a while biking, you don't get exhausted much anymore, because your body is already in "action" mode and just stays at that level.

Cj M gamerguy348 not racers for sure. You have to hold 22-23 on the flat to keep up with the peloton in cat 5. 28-29 for cat 1.

I mean still pretty good for a forty something who doesn't train

I know you made this comment a year ago but that isn't a mountain bike it's more of a gravel/road bike and no he is’nt fit since evidently he is’nt even in his highest gear Everytime they show him riding, also 19mph is easy as I do so regularly

~he's the fittest amongst them for sure..and see their artic episode..hammond skiing to north pole

@Matthew Baholo ok, out of them he's aged the best.

I just wonder what London PD would have done with a masked/ helmeted man doing this in London if there Hadn't been a BBC camera crew.

Richard Reavis *London Met

RastaSaiyaman I was actually thinking of Jeremy calling him. Would have been funny.

You can tell at the top of the escalator the cameraman stops abruptly because he's expecting Stig to walk down

Ben collins isnt the stig tho... its Perry McCarthy

Captain ATG the p45 seriously needs to be a mass produced car

I miss read it to ps5

To be fair, both a bike and the P45 have the same "A LOT OF POO SHOT OUT JUST THEN!" coefficient when being passed by giant vehicles.

That's impressive for sure. He clearly has some experience riding a bike. That is NOT easy to do while maneuvering through London's infamously awful traffic.

well, the bike he rode is made to be the easiest to ride at that speed. Each bike type is designed for specific speeds. Women city bikes can barely go over 12-13 mph/20 kmh, as the users don't want more speed. Also these bikes are often heavier. Racing bikes on the other side are light and their gears are made for being fast. Which means you can easily stay at 19-22 mph all the time. A trekking bike is a middle ground - it will stay between 15-20 mph (20-35 km/h). When I bike on my trekking bike without any much pressure I easily stay at 25 km/h all the time and can go up to 35 before my gears will not allow me any more acceleration (you can then only get faster by going downhill).

but cyclists are knobs

@@SteveOnlin yes but that was a hell of a ride, he did.

@@SerandibBroadcast no

@@SteveOnlin for a car person, to use a bike, is something man

@@SerandibBroadcast gang gang

DreamPen I wonder if you have to radio for permission? It makes sense because if the barrier was rising you'd wreck your boat! Apparently they can raise it by hand if there's a power failure. I imagine that would be hard work though.

Yea it makes u feel badass!

John Airey ...unless you don’t have a radio (and you’re under 13.7m, which his speedboat certainly is).

DreamPen I’m sorry to crush you thoughts but I can tell you the novelty does wear off slightly after time...

Same with Air Traffic Control when piloting an aircraft. It feels really cool for the first week or so and then it just becomes annoying lol. Especially when they ground you for things like drones, birds or traffic.

RIP

Let's just say he probably did all his work standing. . .

Drog2099 19 mile an hour is my normal riding speed... then again i do race. But ye , pretty sore

Exactly. I'll still take the car. I'm comfortable in my own vehicle. I don't have to worry about public transport being late, sketchy and carry luggage all over the place. I don't have to worry about rain, as I would on the boat. And I'm certainly not gonna bike and arrive sweaty and with no luggage at all. The car still wins.

Drog2099 lol

KBABZ Some say he thinks pedals come from flowers. All we know he's called the Stig. Fast start in the Mercedes 12-speed, pedaling fast as he reaches the first...No, wouldn't work.

agun17 On the normal track, no it wouldn't! Especially after Hammond's performance in the pie-powered aluminum foil 911! But on an awesome mountain track with flamethrowers and Evil Kinevil Stig? Hell yeah!

KBABZ Some bikes don't not have gears at all

KBABZ Does anyone know what the music was between 5:00-6:30

KBABZ Boats also have an engine

TheBANANAMAL doesn't like automatic

@@adilshafi3067 lmao didn't think of that

TheBANANAMAL and

He is confused by everything that isn’t a car

Some say he cannot comprehend things moving slower than thirty miles an hour and that he's confused by escalators. All we know is he's called the Stig.

I know its been 2 years but nice comment

@@rowengarcia3852 Agreed. It indeed is a nice comment from 2 years ago.

Ryan Cooper.

@@philithegamer8265 Need for speed

Is he an NPC then then?

Thats the gap between him and anyone racing him

"And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you're no longer a racing driver." - Ayrton Senna

+SquidCat YT What about a helicopter?

A maglev would have dwarfed even these.

won't beat my teleportation device

Louis Goodland or a jet pack

Walking is better

Love how u copy and pasted the comment above

...with a BBC camera crew. It's like walking into a bank while masked up, but it's 2020 so YOU BETTER be masked. Camera is basically carte blanche to do whatever.

Because it is. The opening of the World is Not Enough literally has Bond chase an assassin in a speed boat down the Thames.

In fact, the music came from Bond film Casino Royale.

@@souvikrc4499 Not at 1:18 (That's from the Hot Fuzz Suite...)

Matthew Ward _"And moreover, London doesn't even have a river!"

@Ayden Holton nice whoosh

The definition of traffic in london is different

As long it is moving a bit, it is technically clear of traffic. Better than standstill.

Daniel T. A snail is faster than the car XD

Ostrich riding!

Let me introduce you to Bogotá. The only place in the world were it isn't.

Not in Most in the US.

@@MrJuancazzzz oh Bogotá, the city where cars aren't very efficent, Transmilenios are worthless, riding bicycles is dangerous and walking is suicidal. The only efficent transportation option in Bogotá is teleportation. But hey, least it's lot like Cartagena where you have about 23 reckless motorbikes per square feet. There are so many motorbikes in Cartagena that driving on the road feels like putting your head inside a bee hive :)

Some say he left after Clarkson was sacked

I question myself the same

Good question

They were being unbiased in this challenge.

The Stig (Ben Carson) had a back injury at that time. It would have hurt him a lot if he drove.

Akmal Ibrahim he was sitting on the last train

same

Same

-Ben Collins (former stig) is in GT- oh shit I was wrong

Coffee Dust well Abbie is there lol

AlexShrimpGame ! yeah but that’s not the stig

2:26 ?

Do you know what the name of the music is

@@Askial_Osial preliator by globus

link?

@@respectablebogan3276 really asking for a link 5 years later...

@@visibletonone.superiortoal2033 and what's wrong with that?

thank you friend :)

Thanks

I thought it was Globus - Preliator

Globus is owned by Immediate Music. Preliator is the version of the music that has the lead female vocals in it. Lacrimosa doesn't have the female lead vocals.

Ohhh right. Thanks for clarifying that

@Monster Tooth true

It is an even older now and it's still a great episode

Funny thing is, I was just talking about this one at work the other day, and now it showed up on my recommended.

schumi246 Funny that you were telling me about it at work the other day, now I’m seeing your comment.

@Monster ToothThis is really old reply but a great reply

Adam Williams Still cool though

***** Still better than Top Gear USA

Yep

***** agreed!

***** There better damn be more clips! :-)

Hammond seemed quite well rested.

@@petertaylor4980 He had certainly had time to freshen up and I didn't see any helmet marks. They can last quite a while.

At 1:02 they're implying the boat has just above twice as far to go. That must be bullshit, though, because he seems to average 50+ mph (probably closer to 60) after that. I seriously doubt Hammond did 30 mph.

@@ericforsyth He stayed around 19mph wheras Clarkson was limited to 8mph until he reached that bridge where the river became unrestricted

As a cycles this is very likely me every time

NTA?

@@wowdogememe1541 National Television Award (British)

Hahah i wondered if anyone noticed, its also from the lego batman games

@@Tobias-yn5td I'm well aware of that too! That game was my childhood!

Mustafa Ercan let's be real, if it was Stig driving and James taking the public transportation, they'd both have a much higher chance of winning.

@@potato1341 The bicycle would still have won...but the Hamster could have won by a larger margin, if he had used all the gears available on that bike...! Not once did he use top gear...!

@@tangomoggy true

But Stig might terrorize London by driving ludicrously fast due to his ignorance to the concept of speed limit.

And have a speeding ticket

Some say he's made over 1,500 origami lampshades out of speeding tickets, and can only be photographed in the infrared spectrum. All we know is, he's called *The Stig*.

+panda gaming44 lol

uh........noo...

yea he'd just drive it on the water

you can , there's even a uber boat with room for bike's and you can use the Oyster card (which is for Tube,Trains and Bus). if you live along the river, say to the east and need to commute into central London it's a viable strategy

If Jeremy would have driven, the car would be a wrack

ROFLcopter You meant The Stig?

ROFLcopter Let's be realistic, driving in London is absolute hell. There's always congestion, and bikes can easily beat cars and buses by shooting through the traffic jams.

If Jeremy had been driving...there's a good chance there would have been a major road rage incident...!
