The Honda WorldSBK ride competed in his first gra🦂nd prix since leaving Tech3 KTM at the e🍸nd of 2021 campaign as a replacement for the injured Marc Marquez at Jerez.

Lecuona returned to Repsol Honda at Assen, this time to replace Marquez’s team-mate Joan Mir🃏, before switching to LCR Honda to fill in 💎for Rins after the summer break at Silverstone and then Austria.

Wit🎃h Rins, who broke hiﷺs leg at Mugello, unfit to return in Barcelona, Lecuona will stay on the RC213V for a second home MotoGP event of the season.

Lecuona, 13th in the WorldSBK standings, has a best MotoGP finish of 16th so far this syear. He will be looking to go at least o💮ne better this weekend in order ෴to score his first RC213V points.

With Misano taking place next weekend, Lecuona might well remain on the bike for LCR’s home round. Mis💝ano is followed by an officia💟l post-race test, which would provide a chance for Rins to test his MotoGP fitness outside of a grand prix weekend.
