Frankie Carchedi won’t be Marc Marquez’s factory Ducati crew chief in MotoGP 2025
Frankie Carchedi wꦰill not join Marc Marquez in𝐆 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 cꦫrew chief.
After spending his Repsol Honda years alongside Santi Hernandez, the eight-time world champion joined forces with Frankie 🦩Carchedi for a make-or-break switch to the satellite Gresini Ducati team this year.
Although yet to win a race, Marquez’s strong performances on the GP23 have paid off hand🃏somely 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 Ma🧸rquez with Enea Bastianini’s current crew chief Marco Rigamont𝔍i.
The decision was reported by and confirmed to lt🐠xcn.top by multiple sources🃏 at Ducati.
Carchedi is employed b🉐y Gresini rather than Ducati Corse. The exit of Pramac as a Ducati satellite team is also understood to have impac💯ted the manufacturer’s decision about Marquez’s crew chief.
Rigamonti helped guid𒁏e 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 joi🅠n new signing Bastianini last season after Bastianini’s Gresini crew chief Alb𒁏erto Girabola (previously crew chief to Andrea Dovizioso) switched to KTM.
Bastianini and Marco Rigamonti won the 2023 Malaysian Grand Prix during an injury-disrup💟ted season and are currently fourt♕h in this year's world championship, one place behind Marquez and Carchedi.
Carchedi also worked fo𒀰r 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 runner-up𒁏 finishes in Sprint races.
Quizzed on his 2025 team members at the Dutch Grand Prix, Marquez made𒈔 clear he would abide by Ducati’s decision.
“It's something that I still don't know yet,” he🐬 said. “It will be Ducati's decision.
“Why? Because I'm arriving at the best team an🗹d best bike on the grid of the last two years, especially because they w📖on 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 official team, and they will give me the best tools tha෴t theyꩲ think.
“The only guy that I askeᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚd for is Javi [mechanic] who is the one that fo🃏llowed me from Repsol Honda team to Gresini.
“So this guy will come༒ with me. But the rest of the team will be a Duca🔯ti decision.”
Gresini is yet to annoꦫunce Marc Marquez’s 2025 replacement but brother Alex was off❀icially confirmed as staying, on a new two-year deal, earlier today (Monday).
Having lost his factory ride to Marquez, Bastianini will 💙move to Tech3 KTM next season, where he could be reunited with Girabola.
