Condi🃏tions played havoc on Friday due to high winds, but with the rain intensi🃏fying ahead of FP3, Honda would have seen the tricky conditions as a chance to get themselves further up the order.

But the Japanese brand will now have to rely on Xavi Vierge, Tarran Mackenzie and Adam Norrodin, afℱter the former MotoGP rider was declared unfit.

Lecuona was initially ta🍷ken to the medical centre for a check-up before being re-assessed prior to the Superpole session, afterꦇ suffering from a right knee contusion.

Following💧 that reassessment, the Spaniard was deℱclared unfit for Saturday’s action with knee pain and functional impairment on his right knee.

The team JHRC rider’s parti♎cipation for Sunday will be determined ahead of tom🅘orrow’s warm up session.
