Marquez Brothers Sign Two-Year Extensions With Shoei
If you’re Shoei, what’s better than having the 2013 and 2014 MotoGP world champion, Marc Marquez, wearing your helmet? The answer, it seems, is also having Marc’s younger brother, and Moto3 points leader, Alex, also donning a Shoei. It was recently announced that both brothers have renewed their contracts with the Japanese helmet manufacturer for two more years, which will see them both in Shoei’s flagship racing helmets through the 2016 season.
Marc Marquez:
“I feel so happy to continue with Shoei for two more years. It’s a long story together and I hope we can continue enjoying and winning in the future. Shoei has been always a top brand and it gives me a lot of confidence and safety.”
Alex Marquez:
“I am so happy to sign with the brand that trusts me all those years, [beginning] from the Spanish Championship. I have a new challenge next year in Moto2 and it’s so important for me. Shoei means quality. I feel really safe and comfortable on the bike.”
