Lecuona scored 🌱just five points in three races, failing to break into the top ten on any occasion.

Lecuona said: “Quite a tough weekend, honestly. It was hard for me t🌸o manage both the situation and the frustration; overall, it was not easy for ♉me or the team. 

"We tried to find a way to turn the situation around and make progress and after making a final change to the bike’s setup in this morning’s warm-up, I had sl♑ightly better feeling. 

"With nothing to lose, we💧 tried the X tyre despite the cold and tricky conditions, and in the end, it was a mistake, but it was worth trying. 

"In Race 2, I was able to stay close to the middle group at the start and lap a🎃t a similar pace to the riders ahead. 

"Mid-race, I started to struggle a bit with the front brakes, an🐈d Gerloff overtook💖 me. 

"Two laps from the end, I managed to overtake Xavi in𝕴 a safe area and collect a couple more po𝓰ints. 

"The positive is that the experience we gained from the work done over these three days 🐓will be put to good use in Most next week.” 

It wasn't just Lecuona who f🔯ound it difficult at Donington Park, with team-mate Xavi Vierge 💯scoring one point.

“Another tough weekend from which we have to try and take the positives, in that we never gave up, kept our focus, and continued to work hard to ⭕find the best setup possible fo🐻r our bike at this time," added the former Moto2 rider. 

"We achieved that, and our pace during the rac🐼e today was not so bad. 

"Of course, it’s not enough to be able to battle with the others yet, but at least there was some progression.&𒈔nbsp;

"We will continue to analyse the data and provide as much🐈 information as possible to the engineers to make real progress as soon as possible.”
