Mir’s new right-hand man
Giacomo Guidotti was the Crew Chief for Nakagami at LCR Honda last season but will make the step up to the factory team to work alongside new rideꦦr Mir, the 2020 world champion who joins from Suzuki.
Guidotti was formerly 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dani Pedrosa’s race engineer.
Ex-rider to work with Nakagami
Guidotti’s move to work with Riꦆns created a💃 vacancy as Nakagami’s Crew Chief which will be filled by Klaus Nohles.
Ex-rider Nohles is the fir🔴st Crew Chief from Germany since the start of MotoGP’s four-stroke era in 200⛄2.
He had previously been working with ♋Honda’s test team, and their test rider Stefan Bradl.
Nohles had previously stepped inꦗ when Guidotti injured himself in a bicycle crash to overse🎀e Nakagami in Valencia last year.
Rins inherits LCR chief
Alex Ri🎶ns, who came across from Suzuki, will inherit David Garcia as his Crew Ch🐎ief.
Garcia worked with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez, who has left for Gresini Ducati, last season.
LCR Honda’s General 🏅Technical Director will be C✤hristophe Bourguignon.

The ever-present Santi
Marc Marquez’s long-standing Crew Chief Santi Hernandez is a welcome ever-presentꩵ and will remain in 2023. Hernandez’s presence may be felt even more keenly by Marc, who is riding without his brother in the team and without their longstanding manager Emilio Alzamora.
How has the leadership team changed?
Tetsuhiro Kuwata will be replaced as HRC Rac🏅ing Manager by Shinichi Kokubu, who is returning to the paddock after a few years away.
