Iker Lecuona says it will be “challenging” to adapt the Honda Superbike to the layout at the Hungarian WorldSBK.
Iker Lecuona is anticipating a challenging first appearance at Balaton Park during this weekend’s Hungarian WorldSBK event. The last time the World Superbike series visited Hungary was in 1990, and this weekend’s races will take place just over a month before the Hungarian Grand Prix in August. Lecuona expressed his dislike for the Balaton layout during a stock bike test at the circuit in June and expects difficulty in setting up a Superbike for the track. Despite his reservations, he acknowledges the need to stay focused and work diligently to leverage the current bike setup. Xavi Vierge, Lecuona’s teammate, appears more optimistic, believing that the test with the production bike at Balaton should provide valuable insights to help HRC perform well in the Round. Vierge sees the new track as both a challenge and an opportunity, emphasizing the team’s commitment to giving their best and aiming for a successful weekend.
