He boasted to the Spanish press that he's in top 3 riders in the world.

Erm, he's the only regular MotoGP rider who's never won any GP race :D

Yup this is what I don’t get when he was having a go at Lorenzo, obviously Aleix is fast but he has the attitude of a regular winner, strange

I think it's the innate self belief you need to possess if you want to be a world class anything. Aleix very clearly believes he is a world champion if he had the bike and team to do the job.

My eldest lad and his mate are going for race day. I don't really like Silverstone as a track for spectators so gave it a miss when he asked about tickets. Did the race day a few years ago and the 5 hours getting out of the car park pissed me off sufficiently to not go back again
We had no queue to get out as we left on Monday morning, there was live entertainment and all the stalls were till open at woodlands campsite.
I thought spectating was great, on Friday and saturday you could sit in any stand you liked, Becketts and CLub were both really good. We walked around the perimeter both days so had a pea from every corner. My phone said I'd taken over 28,000 steps on both days so its a fair old walk.
We had seats in Club corner for raceday. Marquez took Martin off right in front of us...
I'll be going back again next year, its not cheap but its a memorable weekend.
