Iker Lecuona and Nicolò Bulega are the stars of free practice at the Hungarian Round. The two Aruba.it Racing – Ducati riders battled it out with a series of fast laps in both FP1 and FP2.
At the Balaton Park circuit, Lecuona came out on top this time, snatching first place from his team-mate on the final lap of the afternoon session.

“I’m very happy with how things went, especially as I didn’t arrive here on Friday in the best of shape due to a minor stomach bug that really knocked me about yesterday. The feeling with my Ducati Panigale V4 R, however, has been excellent since this morning. In the afternoon, I tried to manage my energy so I could push harder in the final laps. I’m very confident about tomorrow.”

“All in all, I’m satisfied. We already knew this wasn’t one of the tracks best suited to my riding style. Despite that, things went well, partly because we started off with a positive feeling straight away, compared to last year. I feel confident, but we’ll still need to take a step forward tomorrow to fight for the win.”
