Or saddle up for coverage of the Tour de France. And remember, the football season might be over, but don’t forget to check out those local club friendly matches across the country.

Mushy better: If vegging out to a rally on Centre Court isn’t your thing, get your grunt on for Britain’s ultimate sporting contest – the World Pea Shooting Championships on Saturday. Each year contestants vie to be tops at firing little green missiles at a target in Witcham, Cambs. Or check out Saturday’s Tin Bath Champion ships at Castletown on the Isle of Man or the British Beach Polo Championships in Sandbanks, Dorset, from Friday.
