WATCH: New Range Rover EV prototype on test

This is the new electric Range Rover, in still-secret prototype form. And we've driven it off-road. Join Matt Saunders here as he guides you through the new Range Rover EV's technical details, some of which are still to be confirmed. What we can tell you is that it'll have two motors, one at each end, totalling 542bhp. There's a 118kWh battery underneath the car too, which because it's a stressed element helps make this the strongest Range Rover yet built. It may well be the heaviest too, but we'll know more about that when final details are released, ahead of the car's launch this coming autumn. For now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the sound of silence as this exceptionally quiet EV goes about its off-roading business. Watch the video by clicking above. ]]>

Historic day as Suffolk to host first two stages of Tour of Britain

Suffolk is set to host two stages of the Tour of Britain this September for the first time when it kicks off in September. It is another huge boost for the county just days after 90,000 people descended on Portman Road to watch Ed Sheeran perform his first ticketed Ipswich gigs since Chantry Park in 2019. East Suffolk will host the first stage of the race for the first time since 2012 on Tuesday, September 2, with Woodbridge and Southwold named as the start and finish lines. For the area it means the world's top male cyclists will head to the district for a third consecutive year, as it had the honour of hosting the final stage for the 2024 race. Today's announcement also marks the debut of Woodbridge as a host venue for the event. The cyclists on their way into Aldeburgh in 2024 (Image: The exact route for the two stages will be published later this month, but the first stage will include passing through Wickham Market, Aldeburgh, Saxmundham, Framlingham, Halesworth, Bungay, and Beccles. The second stage will start and finish in Stowmarket on Wednesday, September 3, and will be hosted by Mid Suffolk District Council and Babergh District Council. Cyclists will take a route that will include Debenham and Eye in Mid Suffolk, and Sudbury and Hadleigh in Babergh. The 2024 peloton departs Lowestoft in East Suffolk (Image: Sarah Whitelock, East Suffolk Council's cabinet member for communities, culture, leisure and tourism, said: 'We are excited to welcome the Lloyds Tour of Britain Men back to East Suffolk for the third consecutive year, and to be hosting the opening stage.

"The Tour, and the community activities which accompany it, also help to promote the physical and mental health benefits of cycling to all ages and abilities and showcase East Suffolk as a cycle-friendly destination to a national audience.' Matevz Govekarn, of Slovenia, won the final stage of the tour in 2024. (Image: For two Suffolk towns, Southwold and Stowmarket, it will be the first time they have welcomed the men's tour.
