Matt LeBlanc rides Ducati 1299 Superleggera in Top Gear

TOP GEAR makes some rare time for bikes in the next episode, with Matt LeBlanc riding a Ducati 1299 Superleggera.

The latest TV trailer for the flagship BBC show features keen motorcyclist LeBlanc sticking a knee out for a corner and declaring “I’m on a bike.”

In case we mistook it for a car.

The episode will feature Chris Harris in a £2million Bugatti Chiron attempting to cross the Arabian Peninsula faster than LeBlanc on ‘a roster of money-no-object transport solutions’.

Speaking ahead of the latest series, LeBlanc told Carscoops.com it would feature "the Bugatti Chiron, even a Ducatti 1299 Superleggera, a spectacular bike I rode to LeMans".

Episode four of Top Gear series 24 will be shown on BBC Two at 8pm this Sunday, March 26
