Joan Mir has praised the work of former crew chief Frankie Carchedi, who will join forces with Marc Marquez at Gresini Ducati next season.
After working in British Superbike and World Superbike, Carchedi joined MotoGP as crew chief for Karel Abraham at Aspar Ducati in 2017-2018. He then had the opportunity to work with Joan Mir from his debut season at Suzuki, and the pair won the World Championship in their second season together. However, when Suzuki closed its doors at the end of last year, Mir went to Repsol Honda and Carchedi returned to Ducati via Gresini. There were rumors that Mir tried to bring Carchedi to Honda, but Mir ended up being initially partnered with Ramon Aurin and then Giacomo Guidotti. Now, Carchedi will be working with Frankie Carchedi in 2024, opposite Mir, and Mir has expressed his admiration for Carchedi’s work ethic and dedication. Carchedi is currently working with Fabio di Giannantonio, while Santi Hernandez will continue to be Marc Marquez’s crew chief at Repsol Honda.
