Iker Lecuona to start from 21st in Argentina
The rain finally appeared during the second day at Termas de Río Hondo in Argentina. Iker Lecuona made another strong impression on Saturday morning, finishing in fifth place, a result he didn’t reach in the afternoon. He will start from 21st on the starting grid, more than a second behind his British teammate.
The Moto2 riders will be back on track on Sunday for the warm-up, which will precede the second race of the 2018 campaign which will start at 13:20 local time.
Iker Lecuona (21st – 1’58.614):
“The morning wasn’t too wrong. The conditions were mixed, so it was easy to make a mistake. I was sliding a little at the acceleration, I almost crashed, but I managed to save it. This afternoon, I don’t really know what happened. I’ve had a lot of trouble. I changed my tyres, but as the rain got heavier I couldn’t improve. We’ll do our best for the race.”
