Honda confirm fitness decision on Iker Lecuona for Portuguese WorldSBK
Iker Lecuona went for medical check in Portimao

Iker Lecuo🐬na will race this weekend at the Portuguese WorldSBK, Honda have confirmed.
Lecuona injured himself in the Superpole race at the 💃first round in Phillip Is🌜land, causing him to miss the main races.
He fractured his foot which also cost him the ch꧙ance to test when WSBK riders h🐎eaded to Portimao after Australia.
But he has bꦍeen passed fit ahead of the second round of the 2025 WSBK season in Portimao.
“Tomorroᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚw I will be back on track, it has felt like a long tim🅠e," he said.
"I feel really good, I even feel better than how I felt in Australia🔴 because there, older injuries to my ribs and my shoulder were still bothering me, on top of then what happened to my foot.
"I feel 80% better than how I felt in Australia, so that’s really good. That, plus maintaining a positive mentalit🐼y, going step by step, regaining the confidence again, I feel honestly very confident.”
Lec🌟uona did not require surgery after his Honda CBR 1000 RR-R was sent sprawling into the gravel at𝓀 Phillip Island.
🎐It was the latest bad luck for the Spanish rider who battled through pre-season despite nursing other injuries.
He finish🅷ed 12th in last year’s championship, one place behind teammate Xavi Vierge.
