Marc Marquez: MotoGP champion signs new Honda deal

Reigning MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez has signed a new two-year contract to remain with Honda.

In his debut season last year, the 21-year-old Spaniard won the title on his Repsol Honda bike.

He currently tops the standings by 28 points, ahead of team-mate Dani Pedrosa, having won all four races from pole position this term.

"I'm glad to remain with this special group of people for another two seasons," said Marquez.

"I had always dreamt about being part of the Repsol Honda Team and, thanks to Honda, the dream came true a year-and-a-half ago.

"Everything happened very quickly last season and I would have never imagined that I could achieve what we did."

Honda executive vice president Shuhei Nakamoto added: "We are very satisfied to have reached an agreement to keep Marc in the team for a further two seasons."

All things considered, not very surprising and smart of HRC to lock him up as soon as possible.

I imagine he was happy to sign a deal for what? Several Million Euros per year?

And he must like the bike, he's done so well on it, how not to like it?

WE WILL KNOW SOME DAY WHAT THEY PAID HIM BUT NOT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS ..

Judging from Rossi's facial expression when Marc showed him the figure it must be substantial

Either that or he was thinking, you're working how cheap?

I doubt it though.

If stick and ball fixation guys get millions, our guys should too.
