SuggestedLeadIn: Leading riders look ahead to MotoGP's British Grand Prix at Silverstone on Sunday

Script: SOUNDBITE: (English) Jorge Lorenzo:

"Yes, we arrive here after recording so many points and our main rival is Valentino (rossi) so I am very happy. I feel strong. We have won five races but in some of the races we have some kind of a little bad luck. But in the rest (of the races) I could be very competitive and with these five races that have given me these points to recover with Valentino, it makes us equal on points."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Scott Redding:

"I always like going to Silverstone because you have all of you fans there and you feel all the vibe from everyone so it's fantastic to go back to your home GP every year. The only frustrating thing is you don't really have the chance to win. That's the only problem I have."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Cal Crutchlow:

"Your home Grand Prix is always busy, it's always hectic, it's always many things that you don't have at other Grand Prix as such and we only have one race a year in the UK so we always try and do our best. It hasn't worked for me so far but there's no reason why that won't work for me this weekend.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Bradley Smith:

"Being realistic though which I always try and be as much as possible, it's going to be another tough Grand Prix, especially with the Ducatis. They have a lot of top speed here inside of Silverstone, so they're going to be very tough to beat let alone stay behind so (I'm) going into this Grand Prix with an open mind."
