The young athlete has signed a £2m two-year sponsorship contract with the drink manufacturer and will earn an extra £400,000 if he wins the 2009 MotoGP World Championship.
He’s the only racer in the sport’s history to have won world titles in the 125cc, 250cc, 500cc and MotoGP classes.
“I’m happy to join up with Monster Energy and to be one of the first European sportsman testimonials for this new brand,” said Rossi. “Monster is growing all over the world and I’m very excited to be joining them. I think that together we can make something special, and the ‘M-claw’ is going to look good on my new helmet!”
