Through two tests at Jerez and Portimao Honda were nowhere compared to its rivals, and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Iker Lecuona believes the upcoming WorldSBK campaign could be another very difficult one.

Lecuona was without a po📖dium in 2023 and based off pre-season testing, achieving such a result appears to be out of sight again in 2024. 

A crash at the beginning of day two was just the start of Lecuona’s problems, as he told WorldSBK.com: “Was hard and difficult. On the first flying lap I crashed in corner seven which is a fast corner. We changed a little bit the bike and I forgo💦t completely. I lost the front and we lost almost all the morning. 


“But even without the crash, we still struggled. We didn’t find the way or🌠 anything that works on the bike. We don’t know why. We don’t know what to change. I don’t know what I need to say.

“It’s the last day of testing and to go with this feeling to Australia is not the best feeling. It’s my third year in WorldSBK and I still don’t feel this big🎃 improvement.

“We improve sometimes but at the end, 🃏what is clear is that we are not ready to fight even for the top ten. Looks like a hard year [ahead].”

Despite having one more test at Phillip Island before the season-opener, 👍Lecuona is not holding out much hope of a big turnaround.

The Spaniard added: “Normally I would say we need to prepare the bike for the race weekend, but for us right now, it is a very important ဣtest.

“We have to try new things. We don’t know what the real potential is for us. I’m frustrated with the situatio🌠n but I understand that they are frustrated with the situation.

“I don’t know what happened, but we cannot find a way. These positions and lap times iꩲs not normal for us.”
