A maiden WorldSBK win looked within reach for Iker Lecuona before late disappointment at Balaton Park.
Iker Lecuona came close to securing his first WorldSBK victory at Balaton Park but faced disappointment towards the end of the races.
Despite an impressive start at the Hungarian WorldSBK Round where Lecuona led the Practice session, he encountered setbacks during the weekend.
Challenges such as a poor Superpole performance and a grid penalty hindered Lecuona’s chances in Race 1, placing him in a less favorable starting position.
Although finishing second in the Superpole Race and putting pressure on his teammate Nicolo Bulega in Race 2, Lecuona was unable to overtake and secure the win.

An illness affecting Lecuona’s performance further impacted his ability to challenge Bulega, leaving him frustrated yet determined to achieve victory in future races.
