Joan Mir: Marc Marquez's new crew chief Frankie Carchedi ‘will work all night’ to make a bike work

After working in BSB (winning the title with Leon Camier in 2009) and then ✨WorldSBK, Carchedi arrived in MotoGP as crew chief for Karel Abraham at Aspar Ducati during 2017-2018.
Carchedi then got✃ his factory chance when he was teamed with Mir from the Spaniard’s debut season at Suzuk🦩i. The pair went on to celebrate world championship glory in only their second season together, Suzuki’s first premier-class crown since 2000.
But when the Suzuki project closed its doors at the end of last year - by which time Mir and Carchedi had achieved one title, one win and 13 podiums together 🎐- Mir went to Repsol Honda and Carchedi returned to Ducati via Gresini.

There were rumours that Mir had pushed hard to try and get Carchedi alongside him at Honda. Instead, Mir was initially partnered by Ramon Aurin durꦓing his RCV debut at the Valencia test, before Giacomo Guidotti steppeܫd in from Sepang onwards.
Meanwhile, it wil🉐l now be the rider sitting opposite Mir 🌱who works with Carchedi in 2024.
“I like Frankie, always. We had many ꦕgreat memories together and I like how he works💖. So yeah, I hope that he has a lot of success in the future with Marc,” said Mir.
“Frankie's quite calm. He’s a guy that if he has to stay awake all night to mak♈e the bike perform well, he will do it,” Mir added.
“It's not easy to 🐈find a person that does that and he has it. I think this is the biggest thing; that he loves his work and he's 💜good at it.”
Carchedi is currently working with Fabio di Giannantonio, who celebr🤪ated his best MotoGP finish of fourth in Indonesia l♒ast Sunday, while Santi Herna♏ndez has been Marc Marquez's crew chief since his 2013 premier-class debut.
Hernandez, like most of Marquez's mechanics, will remain at Repsol Honda neﷺxt year.
