Marc Marquez: Six-time MotoGP champion extends contract with Honda until 2024 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/motorsport/51574465
Get ready for the onslaught from Rossi fans who will say this is why he (MM) will never be as good......

The article suggested quite a lot less. Guess it depends on what they mean by 'deal'. I'd suspect there are lots of sponsorship deals outside of the Honda deal, maybe wrapping all this together hits big numbers.
I guess only MM and Honda will know the actual figure but it’s going to be a huge number. I think he knows his worth and honestly believes he’s the best ever. He wants to win everything and be known as the best motorcycle racer ever in terms of results and financial worth but the one thing that he can’t control is his popularity.

You wonder if he will take over the god status once Rossi steps down. I think he won't. There seem to be enough who simply dont like him, at all, to give him that status.
I bet within those 4 years, someone new will be beating him on a regular basis. Its the way of sport. It does appear his injuries may be just starting to catch up with him.
Guess as a comparison...but I'd suspect F1 is on an entirely different level to MGP for both cost and sponsorships and viewing figures Lewis Hamilton - $57-million (approx. ...

I'd like to agree bit have no idea what "grip his shit big style" means. I've asked the apprentice and he gave me a funny look.
As a Rossi fan,unfortunately for me i can't forgive him for interfering with Rossi's 2015 campaign.And yes i'm very aware that he has raised the bar in the raceworld with his fantastic particular race craft style.
