Iker Lecuona, Honda HRC’s World Superbike (WorldSBK) rider, suffered a significant setback at the start of the season when he fractured the fourth metatarsal of his left foot during the Superpole session at the Phillip Island circuit in Australia. The accident occurred on the second lap of the session, when he lost control of his Honda CBR 1000 RR-R at the iconic Lukey Heights corner and ended up sliding into the gravel. The injury forced him to abandon the competitive weekend and was a blow to the team, which had been showing progress in the pre-season tests, despite the Spanish rider’s physical difficulties.

However, the latest medical updates brought encouraging news for Lecuona and Honda. After further tests, it was confirmed that the rider will not need surgery to recover from the fracture, which could speed up his return to competition. The #7 has already started the physiotherapy and rehabilitation process, with the aim of recovering as quickly as possible and returning to the WorldSBK grid.

The next medical assessment is scheduled for March 18, when it will be decided whether Lecuona will be able to compete in the second round of the championship, the Portuguese Grand Prix, which will take place between March 28 and 30 at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve. Despite the positive evolution, Honda has confirmed that the rider will not take part in the official tests in Portimão, scheduled for March 14 and 15, a decision taken to ensure a full recovery before his possible return to the track.

This setback comes at a delicate time for Honda HRC, who were hoping for a strong start to the season after an encouraging pre-season. Lecuona, who had already dealt with a rib injury over the winter, showed great determination to overcome his physical challenges, but the crash at Phillip Island forced him to take an enforced break. The uncertainty surrounding his participation in the Portuguese race keeps the team and fans in suspense, but the prospect of an early return gives the Japanese team hope.

With the second round of WorldSBK approaching, all eyes will be on the young Spanish rider’s recovery. If progress continues on track, there’s a good chance we’ll see Lecuona back in action at the Algarve track, known as the “rollercoaster” of world motorcycling. The outcome will be decided in the coming days, but one thing is certain: the desire to return stronger than ever is very much present in the Honda #7.
