Después de una lesión en el hombro durante la primera ronda australiana, Lecuona aprovechó este test en España para evaluar su estado físico. Optando por rodar el jueves por la mañana, el español realizó más vueltas el viernes, preparándose para las carreras que se acercan.
A pesar de no estar completamente recuperado, Iker sigue comprometido en dar prioridad a su rehabilitación en los próximos días, con el objetivo de alcanzar la condición ideal para el próximo fin de semana de carreras. En una declaración del equipo, el español hace un análisis de su trabajo:
– This was the first time I rode a motorcycle since Australia and, in my country, I couldn’t train as usual, nor did any gym work. So, this is the current situation. I am doing my best, but I have to take it easy. I am listening to the physiotherapists and doctors. That’s why on Thursday, I chose to ride only in the morning, before visiting the physiotherapist in Barcelona in the afternoon. The shoulder felt a little better than expected on Friday morning, so when the track conditions improved a bit after the initial rain, I went out and rode most of the day. I didn’t feel too bad on the bike, but of course there is some fatigue at the end of the day. We tested everything we wanted and now it’s time to check the data and understand what worked and what didn’t. It’s clear that we still have to work on all areas of the bikes and not on a specific aspect. Grip will be a problem for the races next week, for everyone, I think, so we have to find something. The bike usually works well here, but we will have to see next week what the conditions are and how I am physically.
