Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Marc Marquez, Honda Repsol:

"In Czech Republic, we had some problems there. But it was good for me because now I feel less pressure. I feel more calm and more relaxed. We try here to do our best here again and try to fight for the victory. But now the main target is - try to win the championship."

SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Marc Marquez, Honda Repsol:

"I like Silverstone. It's a fast circuit but safe too. The weather seems pretty stable but we will see how this works out at the weekend."

SOUNDBITE (English) Marc Marquez, Honda Repsol:

(on the championship race being more competitive)

"I hope so. It now looks like the mark is closer. Dani (Pedrosa) is in a very good moment but our target is still trying to win the championship. That is the most important."
