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

Lecuona waဣs without a podium 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 𓄧of Lecuona’s probl🐼ems, 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 forgot completely. I lost the front and we lost almost all the morning. 


“But even without the cra🍸sh, 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 f꧟eel this big improvement.

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

Despite h🎃aving one more test at Phillip Island before the season-opener, Lecuona is not holding out much hope of a big turꦛnaround.

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

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

“I don’t know what hap♊pened, but we cannot find a way. These positions ♔and lap times is not normal for us.”
