Lecuona is set to make his third MotoGP appearance of the year at Silverstone next week, however, the🐲 Honda rider will first be in action d🍌uring this weekend’s Czech WorldSBK round. 

13th in the standings, tღhe opening seven rounds of 2023 have been a huge disappointment for Lecuona and Honda.

• Jonathan Rea ♋responds to Yamah🐬a rumours: “Everything is ongoing”

A big step was expected𒉰 following a promising rookie season, but the Spaniard has been held back 🌄by the struggles at Honda.

Wit🧸h his future yet to be sorted, Lecuona provided an update to WorldSBK.com: "This year, we’ve struggled a lot. We’ve started the weekends with a lot of problems on the bike, we 𝐆always need to change the base. 

"We can’t find the base t♛o use at every track. We need to work a lot more than the other riders. This tells us something on the bike is not correct. 

"I still don’t know about my future. I can’t say until the moment we have everyth▨ing closed but, from my side, I hope this weekend I’ll know a little bit more. 

"Right now, honest♔ly, I don’t know. I’ll know this weekend, but I can’t say! It depends on✱ the project. 

"Nex🅷t week, I have ꧂a chance to go again but with LCR this time. MotoGP is the top, I’ve always said this."

While Lecuona could be on the move next se🔥ason, Michael Van Der Mark remains calm about his contract situation and expects to still be a factory BMW rider in 2024.

Making his return to action for the first time since Assen, Van Der Mark said: "Finally, I’m back on the grid! I’m really excited! I𝔉 wanted to come back earlier but we had to be smart and have a little bit of patience. 

"I wanted to do a race before the summer break; I don’t think we have a꧒ny expectation. We just want to do this race and get back up to speed. 

"Missing four rounds is tough as 🌊you’ll be missing some sharpness. I need to stay calm, enjoy riding the bike and go step by step. 

"I🎉n the summer break, we have a test and we’🌜ll be ready for Magny-Cours. I’ve still got nothing to worry about with my future!"
