However, thanks to the persuaviness of Richard and James, they were able to convince Jeremy to get on that bike and ride – as a team – all the way across Vietnam. As a matter of fact, he threatened not to do the episode at all. Having to ride from one end of Vietnam to another on incredibly cheap (and poorly maintained) motorbikes was met with incredible resentment from Jeremy – right from the beginning.

No brainer, right? Obviously, the plane is faster … or is it? See, the catch is that Hammond and May will have to use public transportation to get to and from airports in the U.K. to Switzerland faster than his co-hosts can get there on a plane.
