Marc Marquez looks set to pair up with Joan Mir’s 2020 championship-winning crew chief Frankie Carchedi for 2024, as his move from Repsol Honda to Gresini Ducati ends a decade-long relationship with current chief engineer Santi Hernandez, who will remain at Honda
Marc Marquez, the six-time MotoGP world champion, is expected to team up with Frankie Carchedi, the crew chief of Joan Mir’s 2020 championship-winning team, for the 2024 season. This move marks the end of Marquez’s decade-long relationship with his current chief engineer, Santi Hernandez, who will remain at Honda. Marquez has been working with Hernandez and his crew since before his debut in MotoGP, achieving great success together. However, when Marquez announced his departure from Honda and move to Gresini Ducati, he confirmed that most of his crew would not be joining him. Marquez is set to inherit Carchedi as his new crew chief, who brings a wealth of experience and success, having previously worked with Mir and winning a world championship with him at Suzuki. Carchedi is known for his electronics expertise and style of working within the garage. Marquez is looking to bring at least one mechanic with him to Gresini, but he understands the importance of not disrupting the existing teams.
