South African sporting weekend: Time to line-up some chores as we scrape the barrel
South Africa's Brad Binder will be hoping for a better for performance at the Italian MotoGP Grand Prix. Image: Lluis Gene / AFP This weekend could be the ideal opportunity to catch up on those chores that you have been ignoring since the start of the year. A bit of gardening, a bit of DIY around the house. Spend some time with the in-laws. It's the weekend to get your tax return in order and the ideal dust off that old gym card and do a bit of cardio. This is not the weekend you're going to spend on the couch and channel hop while watching your favourite sports teams in action. It's rather slim pickings, I'm afraid. Friday night is decent, with our first glimpse of the British and Irish Lions ahead of their tour of Australia, while the Proteas Women start their T20 series against West Indies. But Saturday and Sunday is looking rather dire, with only Brad Binder in the MotoGP, Mamelodi Sundowns in the Club World Cup and the second T20 between the Proteas and the Windies of national importance for - as sports minister Gayton McKenzie puts it - 'the best sports nation in the world'.

Next Stay Close ✕ There's not a lot of rugby on Saturday and Sunday, as the Springboks' international season only kicks off next Saturday with a clash against the Barbarians in Cape Town. Rassie Erasmus' men will then play a two-Test series against Italy before concluding the winter window with a match against Georgia. The only Test match this weekend is the British and Irish Lions' match against Argentina on Friday night (9pm). That match is essentially a warm-up for their tour Down Under, which starts next Saturday with a game against the Western Force. The Super Rugby final between the Crusaders and the Chiefs could be a good watch to see how New Zealand rugby is going ahead of their Test series against France and Rugby Championship, which will see them host the Springboks in Auckland and Wellington later this year. After last week's gripping World Test Championship final, the Proteas men will enjoy a two-week break before getting back into action in a two-Test series against Zimbabwe away. England vs India should make for some good viewing for lovers of Test cricket, but it's not going to conjure up the same emotions we experienced last weekend. However, the Proteas Women are in action on Friday night and Sunday afternoon in the shortest format after they beat the Windies in the ODI series. The team will be involved in the Women's ODI World Cup in October and will definitely be worth the watch to see the next generation of Proteas greats. Sundowns' match against German giants Borussia Dortmund is probably the highlight of the weekend. It will be a fascinating watch to see how the Betway Premiership giants go against one of the best club sides in the world.

Suffolk teen bike racer dreams of podium win at Snetterton
An aspiring MotoGP racer who broke his leg in an 80mph (129kph) crash at his home race last year said he was back at the same track for "revenge". Charlie Huntingford, 16, from Debenham, Suffolk, is aiming for his first career podium at Snetterton, Norfolk, over the weekend. He has raced in the MotoGP feeder series and the British Talent Cup, and said he could reach up to 170mph on faster tracks. Huntingford, who got up at 05:00 to train, said it would be a "dream" to make the podium. "This time last year, unfortunately, I broke my leg, but up to that point, I was doing really well - I was top five and then in second just before the injury," he said."Going into Snetterton, I really want to kick-start my season, get a bit of revenge on the track that caught me out last year." He continued: "We go up to 140mph and then on the faster track day bikes 170mph, which to the normal person seems absolutely absurd." Huntingford is currently studying for his GCSEs, but said he remained focused on all things two wheels. He added: "I've been racing since I was seven years old, so it's just normal. It's embedded in my DNA. All I think about is motorbikes."When sat in an exam this morning, all I could think about was getting out on my bike this afternoon. Everything I focus on is racing, pushbikes, anything with two wheels". Huntingford is managed by dad, Simon, who juggled the fear of watching his son hurtle around a track approaching 170mph, whilst also critiquing and analysing Charlie's performance. He told the BBC: "I respect him as a rider, and hopefully he respects me as a team manager, but I have to be a dad when it needs that emotional support. "When your son's that passionate about something and he's good at it, why would you stop him? Huntingford added: "Some people say how alike we are because we just spend so much time together." Team Huntingford is aiming for a maiden podium, which Huntingford said would be "awesome", while his dad added that there "would be tears".Huntingford said: "It would mean the world, especially as I got injured there last year, so I'm really hungry for it. I'm going to do it". Follow Suffolk news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.

Brad Binder out to set the record straight at Italian MotoGP
Red Bull KTM man has only scored three points in his last six premier class starts. It's a new MotoGP weekend, but the same old problem for Brad Binder as tries to regain his confidence. The Red Bull KTM rider only scored three points in his last six starts and he will be desperate to set the record straight at the at the Italian Grand Prix this weekend. The race takes place at the 15-corner 5.245km Mugello situated in the Tuscany countryside. After finishing the Spanish MotoGP main race in sixth place, his best position of the season, things turned pear-shaped for Binder. He left Le Mans with no points, Silverstone with two points for finishing the main race in 14th and Aragon with a solitary point for a ninth-place finish in the sprint race. ALSO READ: Brad Binder to start 2025 MotoGP season 'a much better rider' Brad Binder miles behind leaders This poor run of form included four DNFs, which leaves the KTM man languishing in a lowly 14th place in the MotoGP title race on 35 points, almost 200 behind leader Marc Marquez. With only eight of the season's 22 races completed, it seems that only Marc's brother Alex Marquez (201) can still catch the six-time premier class champion. Binder made good strides in qualifying during the last round at Aragon, which is usually his Achilles heel. He recorded the sixth fastest time for start on the second row of the grid. After wheelspin cost him dearly at the start of the sprint race, he held his own and flirted with the top five in the main race before crashing out on lap 12 of the main race. ALSO READ: Brad Binder: Sleeping at home and racing at Kyalami will be 'sick' 'It's tricky because every time I gain some confidence with the front end it tends to give up on me!' Binder said after the race. 'I need to take the positives from the weekend and I was able to take what I needed from the bike. Every time I needed a quick lap I was able to be in the mix. If we can hold the performance from this weekend going forwards then things can only get better.' Darryn, Ruché in action Brad Binder's brother Darryn Binder also had a Sunday to forget at Aragon after crashing out of the Moto2 race on the sixth lap. The Gresini Moto2 rider last scored points in the second races of the season, after which he missed three out of the next six races due to injury. Moto3 rider Ruché Moodley will be keen to add to his points tally of 11 at Mugello. The Denssi/BOE rider has scored points in four of his first eight starts.

Brembo Brakes Are Going on Mountain Bikes Now
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Brembo, popular purveyor of high-performance brakes for cars and motorcycles, is jumping into a new market and arena of sport: downhill mountain biking. The Formula 1 and MotoGP brake supplier will now be making cute little brake calipers for Specialized's 2025 UCI MTB World Series race bike. And yes, they are red. There have been some one-off custom bicycles with Brembo brakes in the past, but this is the first proper OE application on something with pedal power. The Specialized Gravity Team will be running Brembo's new bike brake system (it's not just the calipers) on its race bikes starting with the Val di Sole event, coming up June 20-22. It makes sense—downhill bikes don't hit MotoGP speeds, but absolutely go fast enough to justify extreme braking performance. Especially at the highest level of competition. I did a couple of downhill mountain bike races in my youth as an amateur—never did a full day of downhill riding without damaging a significant component (usually bent wheels). Billy Lebelge New business relationships also surely had a hand in making this happen. Specialized has run Öhlins suspension (another brand that also does elite equipment for motorsport and road vehicles) on its race bikes for many years, and Brembo acquired Öhlins just a few months ago. The Swedish company is still providing suspension for Specialized's race program (and some of its consumer bikes, too). As for the mechanical details on Brembo's new bike brakes, here's what the brand shared: 'The braking system, both front and rear, includes an axial brake master cylinder with a floating diameter of 9 mm and a triple lever adjustment (lever ratio, lever reach, and free stroke), allowing riders to customize the braking feel according to their preferences. The brake master cylinder is paired with a post-mount caliper featuring four 'isolated' aluminum pistons with 18 mm diameter to provide high braking power. The master cylinder and the caliper are connected by a braided steel hose to ensure consistent and precise lever travel. The system is completed by a fixed brake rotor, specifically designed to match the caliper, with an enlarged braking surface to optimize heat dissipation during extreme use.' Billy Lebelge I asked my Brembo contact if the brake kit would be available as a standalone consumer option at some point, and the answer wasn't a yes or a no. As they shared via email: 'Brembo has decided to enter the cycling sector with an initial supply in the Racing applications world: this is the first step into the realm of competitive bike racing and a new sector for Brembo and our racing business unit. We cannot speak to future potential in the bicycle industry right now, but this is not an opportunistic partnership – it is strategic. Brembo and Specialized have just embarked on a journey that we hope will lead to further innovations in the near future.' Specialized's factory riders usually have special prototype race bikes they use in competition, so I doubt you'll be able to grab one of these off the shelf right away. But of course, the brand goes racing to move merchandise, so I'm guessing these brakes, or at least a version of them, will trickle down to production status eventually. You can buy the Specialized Demo Race bike for about $7,100 right now, that model's not sporting Brembos yet but it does have Öhlins suspension. This makes me want to get out and ride—my own Specialized has been collecting dust in the garage; I'll roll it out again if it ever stops raining here in NY.
