Iker Lecuona is hopeful that mixed conditions at the Czech WorldSBK could help him to a first race win.
Ducati WorldSBK rider Iker Lecuona is hoping for wet weather conditions in Czechia to aid him in securing his first victory in the class.
Lecuona, who transitioned to WorldSBK in 2022 after two MotoGP seasons, is seeking his maiden win after consistently finishing second in the last nine races, behind his teammate, Nicolo Bulega.
A victory for Lecuona would mark his first in circuit racing at a major championship level, as he had not won in Moto2 or MotoGP before joining WorldSBK.
The prospect of rain this weekend at Most gives Lecuona confidence, especially after Bulega’s hesitancy in rain-affected races in Australia and the Netherlands this season.
Lecuona believes he can capitalize on mixed conditions to outperform Bulega and achieve his first victory in Most, where he has historically performed well.
Despite physical setbacks at the previous race, Lecuona’s improved pace and confidence with his bike have him optimistic about his chances of clinching victory and closing the gap to Bulega.
