Basically all of Marc’s personal sponsors are in conflict with Ducati’s. It’ll be interesting to see if he’ll keep an off the books partnership with them and go back to them if he ever leaves Ducati. I think Red Bull and Oakley will definitely want him back but I’m not so sure about the others.

It is truly astonishing that marc, as a rider, has as personal sponsors the same types of companies that also sponsor a team. In some cases his sponsors are even "bigger" than those of ducati (Allianz compared to Unipol for example)

Any corporation would realize a Marquez or Rossi is far more exposure than any team.

It's fun reading that article, considering everything we know now.

At this point does Marc need personal sponsors? Dude's probably set for life. I'm sure he wants more money but given the choice between money and winning I think we all know what he'd choose.
