Marquez admits MotoGP crew chief change “will be strange” at Gresini
Marc Marquez, the eight-time world champion in MotoGP, has announced that he will not be working with his long-time crew chief, Santi Hernandez, in his upcoming season with the Gresini Ducati team. Instead, he will be joined by Frankie Carchedi, who is currently the crew chief for Fabio Di Giannantonio at Gresini. Marquez admits that it will feel strange to leave Hernandez behind after working together for 13 consecutive years, but he has confidence in Carchedi’s abilities, especially since he won the championship with Joan Mir last year. Marquez has also decided to bring Javi Ortiz with him to Gresini as his sole crew member, as he does not want to disrupt the Repsol Honda team or the Gresini team too much in his one-year contract.
