Lecuona undergoes successful surgery on left foot fracture
The Spanish rider was hit by teammate Xavi Vierge during the Superpole Race at Jerez with the #7 suffering a fracture to his foot
Iker Lecuona (Team HRC) has successfully undergone surgery on a displaced fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot. The Estoril podium finisher was involved in a crash during the Tissot Superpole Race at last weekend’s Prometeon Spanish Round with teammate Xavi Vierge, which the #97 was penalised for. Lecuona was taken to the medical centre for a check-up where he was ruled out of Race 2 due to the injuries. Following the round, Lecuona travelled to Valencia to undergo surgery on the injury.
A statement from Team HRC said: “After sustaining injury during the Superpole Race at the final round of the 2024 Superbike World Championship at Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, on Sunday 20 October, Iker Lecuona has now undergone surgery to repair a displaced fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot.
“The operation was successfully performed today by Dr. Eduardo Sanchez Alepuz at IMED Valencia Hospital in Spain. The procedure went smoothly, allowing Lecuona to begin his road to recovery with a positive outlook.
“With the 2024 season now concluded, Iker has ample time to focus on his rehabilitation. He is expected to be fully fit for the first pre-season tests of 2025, when he will be back on track aboard his CBR1000RR-R, ready to prepare for his new WorldSBK campaign.”
