Honda Disarankan Kembalikan Iker Lecuona ke MotoGP

  • Bukan rahasia lagi jika Honda mengalami kesulitan memenangi balapan di MotoGP dalam dua musim terakhir.
  • Herve Poncharal beri masukan kepada bos Honda soal Iker Lecuona.
  • Iker Lecuona yang baru musim lalu menggeber Honda di Kejuaraan Dunia Superbike (WSBK) bisa saja menjadi opsi bagi pabrikan itu di MotoGP masa depan.

SKOR.id – Iker Lecuona akan menjalani musim keduanya di WSBK pada 2023 ini dan masih akan memperkuat tim pabrikan Honda Racing Corporation (HRC).

Menariknya, kendati berstatus rookie pada WSBK 2022 lalu, pembalap muda asal Valencia, Spanyol, itu mampu tampil mengejutkan. Demikian pula dengan rekan setimnya sesama pembalap debutan yang juga asal Spanyol, Xavi Vierge.

Lecuona menuntaskan musim pertamanya di WSBK dengan merebut satu podium dan finis di P9 klasemen akhir 2022. Ia mampu mengungguli pembalap yang lebih berpengalaman seperti Garrett Gerloff (P11) dan Loris Baz (P12).

Sebelum menggeber Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade di WSBK, Lecuona menghabiskan dua musim di Kejuaraan Dunia MotoGP, bersama tim pabrikan Red Bull KTM Factory Racing pada 2020 dan skuad satelit Tech3 KTM Factory Racing pada 2021.

Bos Tech3 Herve Poncharal merupakan salah satu orang yang tahu benar seperti apa skill dan kemampuan Lecuona.

Ia pun yakin tidak mustahil HRC akan menarik pembalap berusia 23 tahun itu ke MotoGP di masa depan. Tentu saja semua itu sangat tergantung dari pencapaian Lecuona di WSBK.

Poncharal pun mengingat kembali debut Lecuona di MotoGP saat menggantikan andalan Tech3 Miguel Oliveira (yang absen karena sakit) pada GP Valencia 2019, balapan terakhir musim tersebut.

“Lecuona menjalani akhir pekan bagus di Valencia saat itu. Ia memang mengalami kecelakaan saat balapan (di lap 13 dari total 27). Namun ia mampu cepat dan saya puas melihatnya,” ucap Poncharal seperti dikutip Crash.net.

“Lalu, pada 2020, kami menjalani beberapa balapan dengan bagus. Salah satu yang terbaik adalah P6 di Misano sebelum mengalami crash dengan empat lap tersisa, di belakang Oliveira. Saya melihat potensi pada anak ini.”

Menurut Poncharal, Iker Lecuona termasuk pembalap yang sangat cepat. Ia juga memiliki bakat sangat besar. “Dia itu beast dan mampu dengan mudah mengendalikan bermacam motor, termasuk yang prototipe seperti di MotoGP,” katanya.

Pria asal Prancis itu pun akhirnya mengungkapkan hal jujur soal Lecuona. “Ia tidak pantas meninggalkan MotoGP karena saat itu berusia paling muda di grid. Namun, kini Lecuona memiliki pengalaman lebih banyak,” tutur Poncharal.

Di sisi lain, Poncharal mengungkapkan sesuatu yang menarik dari pembicaraannya dengan Manajer Tim HRC MotoGP Alberto Puig.

“Saya bicara dengan Puig tahun lalu di Silverstone. Saat itu, ia banyak bertanya soal Lecuona. Saya pun jujur hanya mengatakan hal-hal bagus, termasuk akan menarik Lecuona (ke MotoGP) jika berada di posisi dirinya,” kata Poncharal.

“Jika Lecuona tidak turun di MotoGP, saya tidak yakin ia akan mendapat tawaran dari Honda untuk bersaing di WSBK. Jadi, saya sangat senang kami telah menaruh Lecuona di ‘radar’, jika Anda tahu maksud saya.”
