Presenting for your television entertainment....

It's classy, it's sophisticated, it's stylish.

It's not Brides on a Bus.

WELCOME to February!

As every two-wheeled motorsport fan knows, this is the month when it all kicks off again.

While the rest of our racing series won't be roaring into action until March and April, we can always rely on the World Superbike boys who line up for their first round at the end of the month.

By UFC fighter Ross Pearson

I HAD a little bit of a lay-off over Christmas, but I'm back in the gym now preparing for my next fight - wherever and whenever that may be. I'm currently training six days a week with two sessions per day. That's pretty normal for me in between fights and it's nice to just keep ticking over and stay fit. I know that whenever I get the call with details of my next UFC fight I'll be more than ready for it.

It's all just about waiting for the call now. To be honest, I could be ready to fight next week if the UFC asked me. That's just the way I go about things. I like to stay in decent shape all year round and I like to feel prepared whenever the opportunity does arrive.

BTCC fans can look forward to more than 120 hours of bumper-to-bumper TV action this season.

ITV4 has revealed it will broadcast all 10 BTCC rounds live on race Sundays, with a show running from 11.30am-6pm.

And with 65 hours of live action, it will also add two 90-minute highlight shows three times in the week following the round, amounting to a further 45 hours of TV time.

Let's have a good old rousing patriotic sing song.

How about Rule Britannia?

Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves, Britons never ever ever shall be slaves.

Feel better? Don't - because it didn't happen that way.

JONATHAN Rea got his 2010 campaign off to a flying start by clocking the fastest time in the three day Infront Motor Sports official Superbike test session at Portimao in Portugal.

The Northern Ireland rider led an all British top four as the the chequered flag fell on the official test.

And the HANNSpree Ten Kate rider's fastest lap of 1.42.270secs was faster than 2009 champ Ben Spies' Polesetting time of last season.

It wasn't Only Fools and Horses - but that was good.
