The eight-time world champion rocked MotoGP with♊ confirmation that he will quit Honda at the end of 2023, and he is expected to ride for Gresini next year.

But, important allies such a🀅s Santi Hernandez, his long-time crew chief, will be left behind at Honda, according to .

Marquez tried to bring his most trusted technicians, who have been with him since his Moto2 days, with him from Honda to Ducati but the Italian ma💧nufacturer would not welcome them, the repꦺort indicates.

Ducati do not want to show the inner-workings of MotoGP’s best bike to a group of engi🥃neers who, at the end of 2024, will become free agent൩s and could take the knowledge to a rival manufacturer.

“Marquez leaves Honda with✃out Santi Hernandez,” reported.

Marquez, as a result, must join 𓂃Gre🍨sini’s existing staff on an expected one-year contract.

"In the event that Marc has new people, the rider will have to be coupled to the technicians and vice ver💮sa. 

“Whether Marc can take all his technical team is very different.𒐪 For me it is key that he can take all his human team of these ye🌠ars.”

Marquez looks likely to be without Santi Hern🦹andez for the first time in his premier class career.

Gresini, within their ranks already, possess Frankie Carchedi as the crew chi🌌ef to Fabio di Giannantonio, the rider who is set to lose his bike to Marq🤪uez.

Ca𝓰rchedi was the crew chief to Joan Mir when he won the 2020 MotoGP tit🌊le.
