• 2024 World Superbike Phillip Island, Friday Pract🔴ice - Results 

• 🍎Nicolo Bulega believes tyre management will be 🎶key despite mandatory pit stop

Lec🍰uona suffered a dislocated shoulder as a result before taking part in today’s limited 💃sessions.

Laps were at a premium as rain fell just before both sessions began, althoug🍸h that ꦫdidn’t stop the new track surface from yielding lap records.

Andrea Locatelli was the first rider to dip b☂eneath the existing lap record, befo♔re Alex Lowes and Nicolo Bulega did the same in FP2.

But for Lecuona, an already difficult pre-season will now be followed by a non-score in Phillip Island as he wil﷽l miss all three races. 

Disappointed to cut his weekend short, Lecuona said: “I tried to ride this morning, but the wet track ꦛconditions meant I was only able to complete four laps, and was alread𝔉y experiencing pain in my left shoulder.

🍸“I was determined to try again in the afternoon anyway, because I was not ready to give up on the race.

“But I was still in considerable pain during♕ the second session, which forced me to lap at a very slow pace.

“The gap in seconds between me and꧋ the top riders was too big as a result, also because I was riding cautiously, constantly mindful that even a minor crash could exacerbate the problem with my shoulder.

“This meant I struggled to maintain my ꧒focus, as I was acutely aware of my physical limitations and reduced performance.

“When I tried to push harder with a new set of tyres, even just a little with the braking or changing of direction, I found myself unable to do so becauꦑse of intense pain in my shoulder.

“After running wide through turn 4,♍ I realized it would be unsafe to continue riding for𝓡 the remainder of the weekend. I’m sorry for my team and everyone involved, but it’s definitely wiser for me to stop and return fully fit for the next round in Barcelona.”
