Silverstone race circuit in Northamptonshire is making its final preparations ahead of this year's British MotoGP.

The British Grand Prix takes place over the weekend of 29-31 August.

Coventry's Cal Crutchlow, racing for Ducati, is among the British riders hoping to give the home fans something to cheer about.

Some of the world's best motorcycle racers including Marc Marquez, Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi and Dani Pedrosa will all be in action.

Silverstone lost the contract to host the British Moto GP earlier this month. A five-year deal has been signed to hold future meetings from 2016 at the not-yet-built Circuit of Wales, which will be near Ebbw Vale in South Wales.
