Marc Marquez’s crew 🎃chief Frankie Carchedi refused to rule out a late surge towards a potential 2024 MotoGP World Championship title bid following his rider’s third victory in little more than a week at Misano.

The six-time MotoGP World Champion followed up his sublime double success at Aragon with a surprise win in the San Marino ꧅MotoGP just seven days later, Marquez’s savvy riding in sketchy conditi🦄ons allowing him to overhaul a more cautious Pecco Bagnaia en route to victory.

Earni🍃n🌳g him a fistful of points with only seven rounds of the season now remaining, the results have allowed Marquez to eat a significant chunk out of Jorge Martin’s overall lead at the head of the standings.

With the margin down⛄ to 53 points, though Carchedi - speaking to TNT Sports - admits Gresini Racing st🐼ill needs to get its ‘fine details sorted’, he wasn’t ruling out a shot at the title in the final events.

“I’m not just saying this… Aragon, w♊e had a perfect ꧋weekend straight from the off. Qualified on pole, and it all went perfect.

“Here, we weren’t perfect. It’s just working with ♏a rider you understand. The more you work, the more you understand. But we’ve still got to get those details.

“Qualifying cos🍸t us dearly this weekend. The pace was clear. In the race, he did a couple of 31.5s to break Pecco. The problem is getting those fine details sorted.

“He worked so hard this weekend. I really thought that we’d blown it in qualifying 𓂃because, here, where you start determines how the race goes.

“ꦛSometimes you win, sometimes you lose. For sure, it [the wet conditions] helped to put him at the front, but he was already in a good position with the length of the race, and it was starting to spread out. 💫He would’ve been there or thereabouts.”
