“I am very proud to announce my renewal with Honda Racing Corporation for the next four years. Honda gave me the opportunity to get to MotoGP with a factory motorcycle in 2013. Since the first year we have achieved success together and I am very happy to continue being part of the Honda family. HRC gives me the confidence to extend this partnership and continue our success story, “Mrquez said in a statement.

One from Rossi, seven from Agostini

The button in the maximum category of the pilot of Cervera also includes 56 wins, 95 podiums and 62 poles on board your RC213V. In addition, in his palmars there are also two world titles in 125cc (2010) and Moto2 (2012) for a total of eight in his career, only one less than Valentino Rossi.

Marc started his career in the main class in 2013 and with it we won six of the last seven MotoGP titles. As a unique champion, he deserves a unique treatment. I have a lot of confidence in this association and I wish everyone involved to continue to succeed, “the manager confided.
