Reigning MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez extends contract with Honda to remain until 2020.
Marc Marquez joined Honda in 2013 replacing two-time World champion Casey Stoner.
In five seasons of racing with Repsol Honda in premier class, he missed out the title only once in 2015 - giving him four premier class crowns. He have been very successful with honda over the years and contract extension decision is no surprise to us.
Speaking about contract extension decision, Marc Marquez said - “I’m excited to continue to race for Honda’s factory team in the MotoGP class,” says Marquez. “I’m proud to race as a member of the Honda family, and I appreciate how Honda and the team always do their best to provide me with everything I need. I would also like to thank everyone who has given me such warm support over the years. The first two official tests went well and, with my contract renewed, I can focus on racing in the new season. I will continue to enjoy racing, share my joy with everybody and do my best to reach our shared goals. Thank you!”
Yoshishige Nomura, HRC President, adds: “I am very pleased that Marc Márquez will continue to ride for our factory team. Márquez has consistently pushed himself to the limit and matured as a rider, and given Honda many titles. We were able to announce the contract renewal at such an early stage due to our mutual trust, and our common passion for racing. I am certain that we can provide an environment for him to concentrate on the final tests in Qatar this week and in the lead-up to the opening round, and that we can start the 2018 season strongly. HRC will continue its challenge with Márquez, a vital rider in the future of MotoGP. I appreciate and look forward to everyone’s continued support for the Repsol Honda Team.”
