Iker Lecuona suffers another injury blow at Australian World Superbike
Honda’s Iker Lecuona has ꦏsuffered an injury in qualifying at the Australian World Superbike round.
Iker Lecuona has been declared unfit at this weekend’s Australian 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:World Superbike round after a crash in Superpole.
The Spanish rider, who🔯se 2024 season ended with❀ an injury at the final round in Jerez and whose 2025 preseason was disrupted by a rib fracture sustained during training in January, suffered another injury blow at the opening round of the 2025 season.
Lecuona was diagnosed with a fracture of the fourth metatarsal bone in his left foot at the circuit medica๊l centre at Phillip Island after a 🔯crash in Superpole.
Team HRC’s Lecuona 🐼crashed on his first flying lap of the first qualifying session of this season, which was topped by Ducati’s Nicolo Bulega, a൲t the Lukey Heights corner – turn nine – and was taken away on a stretcher.
Lecuona’s crash brought out the red flag, and the #7 was the only rider not to set a time in th🍨e session, although Petronas MIE Honda’s rookie Zaqhwan Zaidi was unable to lap within 105 per cent of Bulega’s pole time, and therefore didn’t qualify for the opening round of 2025.
At the time of w༒riting there is no detail on the severity of Lecuona’s🐲 fracture and therefore when he might be able to return to action in WorldSBK.
The next round of the 2025 World Superbike Championship is at the Autodromo Inter꧅nacional do Algarve on 28-30 March.
Alex joined the team in August o♌f 2024 having covered consume♑r and racing motorcycle news at Visordown for two years.
