Moto gp: Pedrosa extends Honda deal

Dani Pedrosa has decided to extend his contract with Honda for another two years, according to Eurosport. The Spaniard is currently partnered by Casey Stoner at the team, but with the Australian set to retire at the end of this season he will be replaced by Marc Marquez from Moto2. “It’s been a very long relationship with Honda and I had a strong desire to stay here,” said Pedrosa. “The fight for the championship this year is still open and the next two seasons will be very interesting for me. I’m perhaps one of the riders with the longest history with Honda, which makes me feel very proud. I’m sure that we will do great things together.”
