The final testing session of the year for Team HRC factory riders Xavi Vierge and Iker Lecuona at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in Portugal, was unfortunately thwarted by overnight and early morning rain.
The riders have been quite busy lately, having recently traveled to Indonesia for an enjoyable and productive event with MOTUL, and then to Japan for an appearance at the HRC Thanks Day dinner. Afterward, they flew back to Portugal with the aim of continuing preparations for the 2024 WorldSBK season. Despite being unable to ride due to the inclement weather, they took the opportunity to participate in some crucial technical meetings with their crews and Japanese engineers who will continue working in Japan.
Vierge and Lecuona will now take a well-deserved break, returning to the track for their next scheduled test in January 2024.
