The Repsol Honda Team box will see Iker Lecuona make his second appearance of the year, this time at the Assen GP in the Netherlands, as he steps in for Joan Mir who continues his recovery at home after injuring his hand in a crash at Mugello.
Lecuona made his Repsol Honda Team debut at the Spanish round earlier in the year, putting together a consistent weekend and finishing both the Sprint race and the Grand Prix. In 2022, the 23-year-old claimed his debut WorldSBK podium at the Dutch circuit.
Iker Lecuona: “First of all I want to wish Joan all the best in his recovery. I am excited to join the team again, it’s a true honour. Assen is a circuit I like, I got my first WorldSBK podium there so hopefully we can have another good weekend like in Jerez. I am still recovering a bit after the crash in Misano, so this will be a good physical test too. Let’s ride!”
