I wonder if he got an employee discount?
meh. with pay like that, who needs discounts?
Yeah, he's among top paid in world. While he hasn't won anything yet, so arguably this makes sense, the GOAT deserves something more than a Monster tank-skin package. Stoner got an big goose-egg as far as special editions, despite bringing home some GP glory; Troy Bayliss gets an 1098R, having brought much glory in WSBK and GP; Hayden got an 848 with special livery AND tank skin set - although championships are limited to Honda rather than Ducati, and Rossi gets only tank skin set...
I did see that Italian press shot of the superquadrata rossi replica, a photoshop, but pretty cool.
