The major changes in the 2023 MotoGP rider line-up have caused a domino effect with Crew Chiefs.

Bastianini's move to Ducati's factory team means he will team with Marco Rigamonti, previously Zarco's Crew Chief at Pramac. Massimo Branchini, who helped Augusto Fernandez win the 2022 Moto2 title, will now work with Zarco.

The two new Honda riders will each have a new Crew Chief. Giacomo Guidotti, who previously worked with Takaaki Nakagami, is now with Joan Mir. Nakagami will now work with Klaus Nöhles, formerly from Honda's test team.

Frankie Carchedi, who was with Mir for a long time, moves to Gresini as Di Giannantonio's Crew Chief.  Donatello Giovanotti moves from Di Giannantonio's side of the garage to Alex Marquez's.

Maverick Vinales will work with Manu Cazeaux, who was formerly with Alex Rins.
