I know for a fact that he done quite well out of the Santander ads..... ;)

And rumor has it not too badly from Proctor and Gamble (Head and Shoulders ads) before that.

Stander sponsored McLaren though not the drivers, so that would have just been part of his regular work contract.

He must have been paid by P&G though but presumably these are 2012 figures.

obviously they can still use the other 4 but they don't have the new gearbox and they can use a 6th engine if they really need to but have to start the race at the back for 1 race.
Honda are only on there 3rd engine apparently.

cal still hurt and not doing to good so far, he was going to have the arm operated on last week but ended up leaving it for now.

I knew I should have stuck some money on Marques for the championship this year...kid is really something else. Good to see Rossi qualifying well maybe the seamless shift has helped him settle into the bike and be more comfortable with it.
 
Didn't even look that fast a lap . Certainly not an edge of your seat death defying lap like he often does

As for putting money on him no one expected this.

Have to wonder what espargaro would do on a competitive bike now he's settled in
 
I'm beginning t think that there's a 'gentleman's agreement' not to claim any CRT engines and Aprilia are starting to feed in more and more tech into Esp's bike. Completely against what CRT is supposed to be.
