It’s a barren weekend: there’s no live motorsport on Freeview.

MotoGP is on its summer break, back next week in the Czech Republic; the WRC is in Germany next weekend; it’s a couple of weeks before Formula 1 makes its debut in Valencia; and the British Touring Cars are at Knockhill next weekend. So next weekend is busy, and I’m really looking forward to the first Formula 1 race around the streets of Valencia. But that doesn’t help me this weekend, does it? Honestly, it’s just inconsiderate.

There’s only the British Superbikes at Knockhill to look forward to this weekend, for you Eurosport types. Tom Sykes will doubtless be brimming with confidence, after his double race win at the last British Superbike meeting, and his wild card performance in the World Superbikes at Brands Hatch last week, including a 7th place in race 2.

It’s likely to be a subdued Knockhill paddock though, after the tragic death of Craig Jones following a crash in the World Supersport race at Brands Hatch last week. RIP.
