Spanish motorcycle racer Iker Lecuona lost his seat at the Tech 3 KTM satellite after just two years in the MotoGP World Championship. When the Grand Prix door closed, however, the Superbike World Championship (WSBK) door flew open, with WSBK Team HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) scooping up the 22-year-old rider for the 2022 season.
Lecuona has already displayed great promise after the first four rounds of the championship, currently residing at 5th place in the standings with 99 points to his name. That form isn’t lost on Honda, and Team HRC has tapped number 7 to pilot the number 33 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP for the 2022 Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race.
