Iker Lecuona put Honda in the top-three in FP2 at the Hungarian WorldSBK.
After finishing FP2 in third place at the Hungarian WorldSBK, Iker Lecuona expressed his surprise at the performance he displayed. The lack of experience at the new Balaton Park circuit for both riders and teams seems to have influenced Honda’s performance on Friday, according to Lecuona. Despite a small crash in FP2, Lecuona’s team quickly repaired the bike, and they were able to make improvements with used tyres. Lecuona’s adaptability and quick learning ability have played a significant role in his success at the new track. He emphasized the need for continued work and understanding the weaknesses of their bike to stay competitive as other riders improve. Additionally, Lecuona identified the stop-start layout of the Balaton track as conducive to his racing style but highlighted the areas where Honda struggles and the targeted electronics improvements planned for Saturday to enhance performance.
