World championship leader Marc Marquez is out for revenge at the British motorcycling Grand Prix on Sunday after losing out on the last bend to Andrea Doviozo two weeks ago in Austria.
Marquez came second to Ducati's Dovioso at the Spielberg track with his Honda team mate and fellow Spaniard Dani Pedrosa third.
But the three time world champion is not expecting things to go all his own way at Silverstone. He admits he faces a "challenging" weekend on a tough track that demands skill and caution but rewards raw speed.
Marquez has won twice before at Silverstone, the last time in 2014. He has also claimed three pole positions, proving along the way that he can master all conditions including wet weather that has dogged the British world championship round in the past.
He said that his goal is "always to be there at the front and be very consistent at all tracks and in all conditions."
"Of course we'll try for the same at Silverstone, a circuit that I like, though we know it will be a challenging round as our opponents are usually very strong there."
Dovioso, second behind Marquez in the world championship standings, finished third in 2015 and second in 2011 at Sikberstone, both results achieved in rainy conditions.
The leading contenders will not be ruling out a challenge from Yamaha's Maverick Vinales, who claimed his first ever MotoGP win here last year and stands third in the rankings.
