As he has done for the past two races at Silverstone and the Red Bull Ring, Iker Lecuona will continue to stand in for the injured Alex Rins at LCR Honda Castrol at the Gran Premi Monster Energy de Catalunya.
LCR Honda have confirmed Rins is making good progress in his recovery from the injury he sustained at the Italian GP, but the #42 isn’t fit enough to return to MotoGP™ action yet. This gives Lecuona another chance to race Honda's RC213V in front of his home fans in Barcelona.
Iker Lecuona to replace Alex Rins at the #CatalanGP.
