LECUONA

DOB : 2000-01-06 Birthplace : VALENCIA Height : 179 CM Weight : 70 KG
Lecuona ’ s place in MotoGP™ only came as a consequence of Johann Zarco leaving KTM a year into his stay . Originally signed to Aki Ajo ’ s renowned Moto2™ team for 2020 , KTM saw it fit to promote the Spaniard to Red Bull KTM Tech 3 . Before then , Lecuona stepped into the highly competitive Moto2™ class in 2016 with limited road racing experience . Injury ruined much of 2017 – his first year as a full-time World Championship rider – but he was soon finishing regularly inside the top ten the following year , with a debut podium at Valencia just reward . He continued to impress in 2019 despite the limitations of KTM ’ s chassis and scored a brilliant podium in Thailand . Considering his lack of experience , a first year in MotoGP™ contained a litany of mistakes . But top ten finishes in the Austrian double header and the Teruel GP showed he is here for a reason . Iker must kick on and score top six finishes in 2021 to secure his MotoGP™ future .
