To absolutely no-one's surprise at all, Marc Marquez has signed a further extension to his Honda MotoGP contract and will remain with the Repsol-backed team for another two years.
“I’m excited to continue to race for Honda’s factory team in the MotoGP class. 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," said Marquez.
"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.”
