999 events later, motorcycle Grand Prix racing celebrates a huge milestone at Le Mans as the world’s first motorsport World Championship hits 1000 Grands Prix. Honda have already won this season, but Jerez was back down to Earth. On pole at Le Mans last year, surely he arrives into the weekend this year as the favourite. On the podium on both days in Jerez and fighting for both victories? He’s been on the podium here before too, but it’s been a little more up and down so far in 2023. This weekend the Tissot Sprint is set for lights out at 15:00 on Saturday as ever, and the Grand Prix race returns to “normal” time. Tissot Sprint: Saturday 15:00 (GMT +2)Grand Prix Race: Sunday 14:00 (GMT +2).
