Frankie Carchedi will not join Marc Marquez in moving to the factory Ducati team in 2025.
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.
Carchedi is employed by Gresini rather than Ducati Corse. The exit of Pramac as a Ducati satellite team is also understood to have impacted the manufacturer’s decision about Marquez’s crew chief. 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.
Quizzed on his 2025 team members at the Dutch Grand Prix, Marquez made clear he would abide by Ducati’s decision.“Why? Because I'm arriving 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.
