Honda confirm fitness decision on Iker Lecuona for Portuguese WorldSBK
Iker Lecuona went for medical check in Portimao

Iker Lecuona will race this w🐷eekend at the Portuguese WorldSBK, Honda have conf൩irmed.
Lecuona injured himself in the Suꦇperpole race at the first round in Phillip Island, causing him to miss the main races.
He fractured his foot which also cost him the chance to test when WSBK riders hea♕ded to Portimao after Australia.
But he has been passed fit ahead of the second round of th🉐e 2025 WSBK season in Portimao.
“Tomꦡorrow I will be back on track, it has felt like a long time," he said.
"I feel really good, I even feel better than how I felt in Australia because there, older injuries to my riওbs and ꩲmy shoulder were still bothering me, on top of then what happened to my foot.
"I feel 80% better than how I felt in Australia, so that’s really good. That, plus mainta🔯ining a positive mentality, going step by step, regaining the confidence again, I feel honestly very confident.”
Lecuona did not require surgery after his Honꦑda CBR 𓆉1000 RR-R was sent sprawling into the gravel at Phillip Island.
It was the late🔥st bad luck for the Spanish rider who battled through pre-season despite nursing other injurಞies.
He finished 12th in last year’s championship, one place behind 🐠teammate Xavi Vierge.
