Top Gear star Chris Evans steps down after one season

The first series of the show had poor ratings, with fewer than 2 million viewers tuning into its series finale this weekend — lower than any episode helmed by Clarkson.
In a press statement, Evans added: "I feel like my standing aside is the single best thing I can now do to help the cause. I remain a huge fan of the show, always have been, always will be. I will continue to focus on my radio show and the allied events that it encompasses."
Clarkson, May, and Hammond are still in business and continue what they did, just with a different name. How could anybody at the BBC think for just a second that they could compete with their entirely new crew?
