WorldSBK: Lecuona to miss final day of testing after sustaining left-hand injury

Iker Lecuona will miss today’s final day of his first WorldSBK test with Honda after sustaining a fractured little💦 finger at Jerez.
Lecuona, who was midway through the second of three days testing, suffered a fall at turn 12 which led to𝓀 the left-hand inju﷽ry.
Although a m✤edical check-up by doctors’ showed no ‘serious injuries’ the ex-MotoGP rider and Team HRC elected to switch their focus towards the first test of 2022.
Lecuona’s team-mate Xavi Vierge has also been in actio💯n and♐ will continue testing during the third and final day.
An official statement from Team HRC said: "For Iker Lecuona the first World Superbike test with Team HRC at the Jerez de la Frontera track in Spain came to an e💙nd midway through the second of three ♛days, following a very satisfying opening day of intense work during which the riders began to get a feel for both their CBR1000RR-R FIREBLADE and the category.
"After hitting hi🐷s left hand in a fall at turn 12, the last right-hand corner, Iker was taken to the medical centre and then Jerez hospital for a thorough check-up.
"Test𒅌s have excluded any serious injuries, but a fracture to the little finger on his left hand means that the Spanish rider will sit out tomorrow’s final day of testing which will go ahead as plaꦯnned with team-mate Xavi Vierge."
The three-day test at Jerez has also seen BMW and Kawasaki get their first on-track running🎐 siꦍnce last month’s season finale in Mandalika, Indonesia.
But unlike BMW who have Loris Baz and Eugene Laverty 🉐in action alongside factory riders Scott Redding and Michael Van Der Mark, Honda and Kawasaki have only been in attendance with their factory teams.
