Marc Márquez and Honda have therefore agreed to continue their joint adventure for two more years. In view of the results brought back by the Spaniard over the past five years at HRC, i.e. four world titles, we say that, all the same, the winged coat of arms must have been hard pressed to seduce and build loyalty. Even if the main argument put forward by those around him for the champion's renewal is a renewed working method, engineers more attentive to him and an RC213V at the top of its form. Knowing that Ducati split 12 million euros for a Lorenzo, how much was the amount of the check signed by Honda?
The answer is not obvious but the site Sport-Rider ventured an estimate based on what we hear in the paddock. Which seems most reasonable. When renewing his contract, Marc Marquez affirmed that all the conditions had been met. Both technical and professional. Hear; by this last point, the emoluments.
Remember that we are talking about the phenomenon of the moment, the record holder for pole positions, and a six-time World Champion at 25 years old. SO ? So the contract is between 12,5 and 15 million euros. Por Fuera is therefore beaten.
But not necessarily Red... Because the Doctor hasn't put his eggs in one basket. His salary is not his main income. His economic empire in the paddock is real while returning to Yamaha, he would have made an agreement according to which if he brought partners, he would receive a percentage on the contracts. And we will remember that in 2012, the Yamaha only had their names and ENEOS on their fairings…
