Conditions played havoc on Friday due to h🌺igh winds, but with the rain intensifying ahead of FP3, Honda would have seen the tricky conditions as a chance to get themselves further up the order.

But the Japanese brand will now have to rely on Xavi Vierge, Tarran Mackenzie and Adam Norrodi🌳n, after the form♊er MotoGP rider was declared unfit.

Lecuona was init♈ially taken to the medical centr༺e for a check-up before being re-assessed prior to the Superpole session, after suffering from a right knee contusion.

Followin🌺g that reassessment, the Spaniard was declared unfit for Saturday’s action with knee pain and functional impairment on his ཧright knee.

The team JHRC rider꧋’s participation for Sunday will be determined ahead of tomorrow’s w𝔍arm up session.
