P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Iker Lecuona will take part in his fifth MotoGP of the season, and fourth in a row, in Catalunya this weekend.
The Honda WorldSBK rider competed in his first Grand Prix at Jerez after leaving Tech3 KTM at the end of the 2021 season, replacing the injured Marc Marquez. Lecuona then returned to Repsol Honda at Assen, this time replacing Marquez’s teammate Joan Mir. After the summer break at Silverstone and Austria, he switched to LCR Honda to fill in for Rins. As Rins is still unfit to return in Barcelona after breaking his leg, Lecuona will again ride the RC213V for a second home MotoGP event. Currently 13th in the WorldSBK standings, he aims to improve on his best MotoGP finish of 16th this year and score his first RC213V points. He may also continue riding for LCR at the Misano round, followed by a post-race test where Rins can evaluate his MotoGP fitness.
