Lecuona is 35 points ahead of team-mate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Xavi Vierge in the battle for rookie of the yea✤r honours, and is therefore the favourite to secure that crown as his fellow Spaniard has not scored thaꦏt amount of points in a single round this season. 

Nagashima will step in for Lecuona having enjoyed one ൲of his best seasons as a professional.

• Bautisಞta: ‘I had th♊e best performance level ever from Toprak and Rea’

The Japanese rider spearheaded Honda’s charge at the Suzuka 8 hours alongside Lecuona, taking victory ahead of Kawasaki and six-time WorldSBK champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jonathan Rea.

Nagashima was then brought in as wildcard rider in MotoGP for the Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi𓂃, before replacing Takaaki Nakagami at Buriram, Phillip Island and Sepang. 

N🔴agashima, who will be making his Superbike debut, said: "I’m really happy to compete in the final WorldSBK round because it will be my first experience of the series and I’m both cur⛎ious and looking forward to it. 

"At the same time, I wish Iker a speedy recovery and hopeꦫ he’ll be back soon. I will try to help the team with the bike, collecting as much data as possible for the future and doing my best to enjoy this opportunity. 

"As I said, it’s my WorldSBK debut so I don’t know what to expect and the weekend schedule is also༒ new to me but I’m ready to get going!"

With Nagashima yet to confir൩m his future for 2023, a good impression in WorldSBK could go a long way to seeing him claim 🐽one of the final seats for next season, or put himself in the shop window for 2024 which is a more realistic possibility.
