Frankie Carchedi won’t be Marc Marquez’s factory Ducati crew chief in MotoGP 2025
Frankie Carchedi will not join Marc Ma💫rquez in moving to the factory Ducati team in 2025.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez will not only be joining a third different MotoGP team in as many seasons in☂ 2025 but also working with a third different crew chi🀅ef.
After spending his Repsol Honda years alongside Santi Hernandez, the eight-time world champion joined forc𓂃es with Frankie Carchedi for a make-or-break switch to the satellite Gresini Ducati tea🦩m this year.
Although yet to win a race, Marquez’s strong performances on the GP23 have paid off handsome✤ly by securing the coveted factory Ducati seat alongside Francesco Bagnaia for 2025 and 2026.
But while Ducati often keeps 🔯rider-crew chief pairings intact during team changes, to aid adaptation to the new surroundings, it has chosen to place Marquez with Enea Bastianini’s c☂urrent crew chief Marco Rigamonti.
The 🌼decision was reported by and confirmed to mahbx.com by multiple sources at Du🐠cati.
Carchedi is employed by Gresini rather than Ducati Corse. Tꦇhe exit of Pramac as a Ducati satellite team is also understood to have impacted the manufacture✅r’s decision about Marquez’s crew chief.
Rigamonti helped guide Andrea Iannone to Ducati’s first victory under Gigi♎ Dall’Igna in 2016, before moving with the #29 to Suzuki. When Iannone left for Aprilia, Rigamonti reappeared with Johann Zarco at Avintia for 2020, the pair continuing together at Pramac in 2021 and 2022.
Rigamonti was recalled to the factory Ducati team to join new signing Bastianini last season after Bastiani🦹ni’s Gresini crew chief Alberto Girabola (previously crew chief to Andrea Dovizioso) switched to KTM.
Bastianini and Marco Rigamonti won the 2023 Malaysian Grand Prix 🐻during an injury-disrupted season🥂 and are currently fourth in this year's world championship, one place behind Marquez and Carchedi.
Carchedi ꧋also worked for Suzuki, winning the 2020 MotoGP title as Joan Mir’s crew chief. With Suzuki departing, the Englishman joined Gresini last season and oversaw Fabio di Giannantonio’s dramatic end-of-year charge, culminating in victory at the🤪 Qatar GP.
So far this season, Marquez and Carchedi have taken three GP podiums, losing out on victory by less than half-a-second at Jerez and Le Mans, plus five ru🗹nner-up finishes in Sprint races.
Quizzed on his 2025 team members♈ at the Dutch Grand Prix, Marquez made clear he would abide 💮by Ducati’s decision.
“It's something that I stillܫ don꧋'t know yet,” he said. “It will be Ducati's decision.
“Why? Because I'm arrivin😼g at the best team and best bike on the grid of the last two years, especially because they won with Pecco. So I know that Ducati, Gigi's staff, will give me the best persons to take the maximum from the opportunity.
“They took a big decision to move me into the officia💝l tea🎉m, and they will give me the best tools that they think.
“The only guy that I asked for is Javi [mec🍃hanic] who is the one that followed me from Repsol Honda team to Gresin♛i.
“So this guy will come with me. But the rest of the team will ꦐbe a Ducati decisio✨n.”
Gresini is yet to ღannounce Marc Marquez’s 2025 replacement but brother Alex was officially c൲onfirmed as staying, on a new two-year deal, earlier today (Monday).
Having lost his factory ride t🐻o Marquez, Bastianini will move to Tech3 KTM nextꦜ season, where he could be reunited with Girabola.
Peter hꦯas been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
