Lecuona keen on Suzuka return following debut EWC victory

FIM Superbike World Championship star Iker Lecuona is keen on a return to the Suzuka 8 Hours following his debut FIM Endurance World Championship victory at the legendary Japanese track earlier this month. Spaniard Lecuona partnered joined forces with home-based riders Tetsuta Nagashima and Takumi Takahashi to win the 43rd Coca-Cola Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance Race for Team HRC aboard a Honda CB R1000 RR-RSP.

Ad Following his success, Lecuona said: “I am really, really, really happy to win my first Suzuka 8 Hours. It felt amazing when Nagashima was met by the chequered flag.

The bike developed by Honda and Nagashima was superb, and I managed to bring out the performance of the bike. I was worried when the safety car entered the track that I would lose the gap our other two riders had built up, but we got through fine.

I am grateful to the best team and my team-mates. If I have the opportunity next year, I’d like to be back at Suzuka.” FIM EWCEWC Suzuka 8 Hours: Classification after final technical controlsYESTERDAY AT 08:10 Up next on the EWC schedule is the 100th anniversary Bol d’Or, which takes place at Circuit Paul Ricard in France from 15-18 September.
