Lecuona will be joined by three-time Suzuka winner Takumi Takahashi and HRC test rider Tetsuta Nagashima aboard the works #33 bike for the FIM Endurance World Championship’s blue riband event on August 5-7.
The ex-Tech 3 KTM MotoGP rider has made an impressive start to his WSBK career this year, finishing on the podium in only his second appearance at Assen. With four of the 12 rounds complete, he sits fifth in the riders’ standings as the top Honda representative, ahead of factory Ducati man Michael Ruben Rinaldi and works Kawasaki rider Alex Lowes.
