Iker Lecuona and Xavi Vierge are the two in charge of carrying out the Honda CBR1000Rr-R of the official team of the Japanese firm in the WSBK. The steps that the motorcycle had taken at the end of last season and in the preseason gave an optimistic vision of what could come in 2025, but Iker’s season was complicated before starting.
And it is that an injury in the ribs hurt him during much of the preseason, forcing him to miss a test and arriving less shot at what Australia would have liked. There things seemed to start to go better until, a fall during superpole, ended the diagnosis of fracture on his left foot.
After that first exam in Australia, Lecuona was declared not suitable to compete in the first round and it was serious for the second. Although still being, now a window opens that indicates that it could be in the round that will be held in Portimao. This is possible because the need for an operation is ruled out after the latest medical exams.
Lecuona will have to pass a new review before the Portuguese appointment
This good news means that the terms of recovery of a Lecuona, who is working from the first moment in rehabilitation, are reduced and fed the possibility of being at the end of the month in the Portuguese layout for the second round of the WSBK 2025.
Of course, before there is an official confirmation, a new medical review will have to pass on March 18, and it will be then when it is determined whether it is possible or not to participate. Unfortunately for Lecuona, and the team is that it is confirmed that it will not be present in the tests that will take place in the same route this week.
