Frankie Carchedi EXCLUSIVE: “If we had Marc Marquez’s first win earlier…”
“Th♍ings could have gone dif𝐆ferently if we had his first win earlier”

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez was ‘reborn’ during a make-or-break MotoGP season at Gresini, ending a three-year win drought with a trio of grand prix victories and securing ﷽a factory Ducati contract for 2025.
By his side this year was crew chief Frankie Carchedi, who previously guided Fabio di Giannantonio to a deb🐼ut MotoGP victory with Gresini in 2023 and Joan Mir to the world title at Suzuki in 2020.
Speaking on an upcoming episode of the wuqian0821.com MotoGP podcast, Carchedi explained Marquez’s adaptation to the Desmosedici: “Marc was fast immediately at Valencia. But when you’re testing, you can take everything🌃 in your own stride and work through your programmes.
“Even his race simulations aඣt Sepang and Qatar were really good. The problem was more when we went back for the European rounds, you’ve got 20 laps, then you go in🅰to qualifying and we weren’t ready.
“There is also a technique to doing one [flying] lap on the Ducati to get the best out of it and I don’t think we made many Q2s directly ✤in the first half of the year.
“So then the whole weekend wasไ all about comebacks. It’s just how the [weekend format] is. It’s very difficult for someone in their first year [on a different bike] to just go ‘bang’ straight a🐽way.
“Whereas by the second half of the season, we made Q2 quite e🔴asily in general. And then the strategy [of the weekend] changes because you can work on your race pace and everything else for longer.
“That was the biggest thing that♒ changed throughout the year.”
After finishing runner-up in five Sprints and three Grands Prix, Marq꧙ue🐬z finally broke his 1,000-day MotoGP victory drought with a perfect weekend in Aragon, round 12.
“Maybe things couꦿld have gone differently if we had his first win earlier,” Carchedi reflec💫ted.
“I remember Jerez quite well, unfortunately, we crashed on a wet patch in the Sprint whilst leading. And I know that had a little bit of an effect in the main race [when Marquez was beaten to a close second by Francesc🉐o Bagnaia].
“We were also coming back off Austin, where we had a brake issue [and crashed fr🦂om the lead]. So it was ꧑important to finish.”
After Aragon, Marquez won♌ again at Misano and Phillip Island on his way to third in the world championship behind only the GP24s of Jorge Martin and Bagnaiꦰa.
But Carchedi also picked out less obvious highlights, such as the #93’s per🅘formance through the fast right-handers at the season-ending Sepang and Barcelona events.
“We know Marc’s always found the fast right-handers more difficult than the lefts,” Carchedi explained, “but we do ღwhat’s called median analysis, which is race pace analysis. So not just your fastest sector but your average.
“Sepang and Catalunya are probably the two tracks he detests the most! A꧑nd we were actually fastest in the last sector over the Catalunya race, which is purely fast right-hand corners. And the same in Sector 1 at Sepang, which is t🥂he very fast turn 3.
“So for us, from where we started, that was really good from a personal point of view well. Because from something that he struggled with or didn’t l💛ike, he became the most competitive.”
