Iker Lecuona scored Honda's first WorldSBK pole in six years at Barcelona last weekend, but the 'same problem as always' left the Japanese manufacturer disappointed:
Ex-MotoGP racer Lecuona scored his first WSBK pole in Saturday’s Superpole session, and was in a strong position to challenge for a first podium finish since April’s Assen round for much of the opening race.
Lecuona told the official WSBK website that his works Fireblade suffered the “same problem as always” with a loss of grip in the closing stages. “In the last five laps I lost the podium, I couldn’t do anything, I didn’t have any tyre [left] for this battle. I destroyed the front, I destroyed the rear, so I could not fight.
That left him starting 10th for the second full-distance race, and the Spanish rider could manage no better than eighth, two places behind teammate Xavi Vierge.
