MotoGP 2023
Round 9
Complicated Sprint at the Silverstone
Silverstone Circuit
LCR Honda IDEMITSU rider Takaaki Nakagami ended up 20th on Saturday.
A mix of lack of feeling on the bike and tricky conditions have jeopardized the plans for the Sprint. The crew and Nakagami are working hard to find the best solution to fighting for points and essential positions.
LCR Honda CASTROL replacement rider Iker Lecuona finished 22d on Saturday.
The Spaniard felt good and motivated under wet conditions ahead of the Sprint, did a good start, and overtook several rivals immediately on the first lap. However, as the laps passed, he struggled to make the most out of his package and lost positions. Ultimately, he gathered helpful information to take a step forward for tomorrow's race.
