Boorman and Noble take on Fifth Gear TV

Celebrity bikers to team up with BMW for series of bike v car challenges

Tweet
Posted: 30 June 2010
by Visordown News

A PRO-CELEBRITY motorcycle versus car challenge is to take place on this week's edition of popular motoring show Fifth Gear.

Star bikers Charley Boorman and Ross Noble team up the show's car-driving presenters, Tiff Needell and Jason Plato, in a Fifth Gear TV challenge at BMW Motorrad Off Road Skills centre in Wales.

The show, aired on Thursday 01 July on Channel Five at 7:30pm, will see the two biking celebs each team up with one of the show's presenters for a series of Pro-Am challenges for bikes and cars.

The teams will use BMW's iconic R 1200 GS Adventure in the series of challenges.

Both Boorman and bike-mad comedian Ross Noble are no starngers to the GS marque; Charley starred in the highly-acclaimed 'Long Way Round' and Ross recently completed a stand-up tour of Australia, travelling around the country on his R 1150 GS.
