One of the biggest pieces of news from the video is that a new TV show is landing early in the new year. It’s called Power Trip, although it’s not the kind of power you might be thinking of! It looks at the UK’s energy network. How we make electricity, how it is consumed, and how we maintain the network. It covers everything, fossil fuel, hydro, wind, and even nuclear power. One of the clips he shares in the video even shows him working with a team of engineers to strip down an old nuclear reactor. Airlifted to Noble's Hospital in Douglas with chest injuries, he was later diagnosed as suffering bruising to both lungs and minor fractures to his upper spine. [48] 2011 Ulster GP [ edit ] Martin has successfully raced mountain bikes in cross country, downhill races and endurance races. In June 2011, after two years of training, he raced in the Salzkammergut Trophy in Austria. With a time of 14 hours 40 minutes, he was the first British non-professional rider to finish.

The International road race meetings had mixed results: the North West 200 never went particularly well, The Isle of Man TT looked promising but problems soon led to it being another disappointment. At the final international of the year, the Ulster Grand Prix, he took 4 race wins and a 2nd making him the Man of the Meeting. He is unlike anyone else on television, a cheerily gung-ho character with no fear and no artifice whatsoever. Martin goes all in. He doesn’t have any time for TV hyperbole either. Strolling through Medellín at night, he was constantly approached by drug dealers. Martin was unfazed, saying afterwards: “It’s probably no different to going out in Grimsby or Leeds or London or Ibiza.” Since 2011, he has also got into bicycle racing, in 24-hour events. [11] [24] For the 2016 season Martin decided not to race in the TT for the first time in 11 years, opting instead for a mountain bike race. He was uncertain if the decision would lead him to retire from road racing, mountain bike racing, or if he would go on to do something else, but said "if I do race on the roads it will be with TAS".
