Marc Marquez’s crew chief Frankie Carchedi: “As the year goes on, we will improve. It's all a case of the first 3-4 races, how high that starting level is.”
The former Repsol Honda rider turned heads by leading the times on his way to fourth on a Desmosedici debut at the Valencia test last November, followed by sixth at the recent three-day Sepang test.
The Englishman, who helped guide Joan Mir to the 2020 title at Suzuki, added: “It's a completely different bike. It’ll take time. There's a reason it took Pecco until his fourth year . He scored 40-50 points in the first couple of years. Jorge struggled at first… “Sepang is probably one of my least favourable, and it's one of Marc's least favourable. It’s almost perfect in that sense. We’ll see where we are.”
“It's happened in the past that a rider hasn't wanted to change something specific because of previous experience and then eventually he's realised that on a different bike it gives a completely different feeling.”Carchedi, who previously worked with MotoGP champion Nicky Hayden as well as Mir and now Marquez, feels it’s more of a benefit for the rider than the crew chief.
“The last part of last year was absolutely crazy. It felt like a race every week for about three months so you never really got a chance to think about Marc . “I think his smile was taken a bit out of proportion, I think that was just because of all the pressure leading up to it. “I studied sport and engineering at Loughborough University. Fortunately, I managed to blag a degree at the end of it!
