Crutchlow: From washing wheels to MotoGP glory

The latest in our series of columns by leading MotoGP riders comes from the championship's latest winner - Cal Crutchlow - as he heads to his home grand prix at Silverstone this weekend

It's been a surreal week since I won my first MotoGP race at Brno. I was expecting my first win to come a few times before it finally did, but in the end I don't really care when it came - it's now come.

We have definitely been close before. I felt that the Sachsenring in 2013 was a missed opportunity because I didn't pass Valentino Rossi early enough in that race to move into second and start chasing Marc Marquez. When I did that, I was catching Marquez a lot, but ran out of laps and fell two seconds short.
