Xavi Vierge was the senior Honda r𓂃ider in action at the postseason W🔯orld Superbike test.

With Iker Lecuona i꧋njured, duties fell to his teammate to fulfil t𓆉he testing programme.

Vierge completed 80 laps on Tuesday then 86 laps on Wednesday, when his best time c🌱ame (1’39.438s).

Honda’s other presence in Jerez came via Tommy Bridewell (Hon🤪da Racing), Tarran Mackenzie (PETRONAS MIE Racing Honda) and test rider Tetsuta Nagashima🍎.

“It’s been a really important two days for uဣs,” Vier💜ge said.

“We mainly focused on the electronics, doing a lot of back-to-backs on the bik𝓀e setup, also on the suspension.

“It’s been really good because we had different track conditions. In theౠ morning, it was so grippy because the temperature was🐻 quite fresh.

“During the day, it was super-hot so we can compare daཧta from all conditions. It’s been really important.

“We did a lot of laps, trying all tꦦhose things, and now the engineers will have a long winter to work on it to make the steps forward we need.

“We focused on race pace. We improved a little bit there which is important because the condiꦓtions change and it gets hotter, we struggle a bit more.🍒 I think we made some progress in that.”

Team Manager Jose Escamez said: “We’ve collected a lot of data in order to make priorities on what we really need, what we’re going to analyse and understand thro🌳ugh the winter and take decisions for 2025.

“It’s always a pity that we couldn’t have Iker as ꦏhe was having surgery. In any case, we made a priority of our needs and I think we’ve collected a lot of information.

“Xavi’s completed a lot of laps durin🐟g these two days, and I think it’s going to be worth it to understand and work with all the concepts and work we’ve got planned.”

Escamez explained the next testing plan: “It depends on the data we’ve collected at Jerez, but I think the most important thing is going to be the ele๊ctronics.

“I would say this is our priority right now. In the 🌟other areas, we want to improve.

“Probably a bit with theඣ engine to see if we can find more potential, in terms of the chassis as well. I think the electronics w🅘ill be the most important parts for us.”
