On both days Lecuona and Honda were a long way away from the top time set by Wor🍬ldSBK ♛champion Alvaro Bautista. 

Lecuona finished 1.5 second off Bautista come the end of both days, and while that deficit was still strong enough for a P8 finish on Thursday, the Honda rider was then pushed all the♐ way down to 14th on♎ Friday.

As has been a common theme over the last season or so, Honda gave both Lecuona and Xavi Vierge some new parts in a bid to challenge the likes of Ducati and Yamaha, however, Lecuona felt the same꧅ issues as before in the wet, which is the rear trying to ‘overtake me’. 

Speaking to , Lecuona said: "It was quite difficult, honestly. In general, we struggled. We tried d𒊎ifferent items on the bike but with one it feels better, with another it’s so-so. Overall, honestly, I cannot be happy. 

"The weather doesn’t help us to approve but even in wet conditions this morning, we had the chance to ride and I felt the same problem as 𒊎always: that the rear wants to overtake me and I don’t have any confidence to relea🐓se the brakes and to go in fast. 

"I felt slow in the wet and usually I go fast. Still struggling in the wet, still struggling a little bit in t🎐he dry. We nee𝄹d to check the data. I’m not happy."

As part of the test items, Lecuona w📖as seen riding wit🐎h two different swingarms as he attempted to improve his pace. 

However, the former MotoGP rider was left unconvinced after failing to undꦓerstand what areas it was helping wi♊th.

Lecuona added: "We’re looking to improve ♐the lap time! We don’t know if it’s better for the corners or for stopping or whatever. 

"W😼e tried some different items, some different ways, to improve the lap time and the feeling with the bike, to see if w✱e had more margin to improve. 

"The situation right now is that, yesterday, I tried two different swingarms. Today, wi🌱t🔯h the weather, I didn’t try anything; just my standard bike. 

"Yesterd🍒ay, I didn’t like one and I liked the other but, the one I like is just in a few areas. For example, it helped me in stopping but in a different area we lost a little bit. 

"We need to check the data and understand if it’s better or not. I’m not happy. It’s true it’s a test to try these items but I ꦕex🅷pected more."
