Mike this question has never been asked about what JM has been paid over the years but reading various cuttings it seems that he is now DEDs number one blue eyed boy and you cant blame them he is the best road racer we have ever seen, I tried to tell you lot four years ago, if JM wants a good payday this year he will have to ride hard as there are a few capable of coming second to Dunlop.

You could argue that whilst he is by no means the 'blue eyed boy' where the DED is concerned, Guy Martin is as big a draw, if not bigger than Michael Dunlop, and Guy gets paid a big fat Zero in start money from the DED.
