It was a sensational Saturday for the Aruba.it Racing \u2013 Ducati team.<\/p>\n
At the iconic TT Circuit in Assen (Netherlands), Nicol\u00f2 Bulega and Iker Lecuona put on a thrilling Race 1, fought to the very last lap.<\/p>\n
The Spanish rider (starting from third position) immediately took the lead, pursued by his team-mate (who had secured his third pole position in the first three rounds of the season), who regained the lead on the second lap. The positions remained unchanged until a few drops of rain shook things up.<\/p>\n
On lap 16, Lecuona attacked Bulega, sparking a spectacular duel that ended with the Italian taking the win.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>\u201cIt was a really good race. I felt I had a good feeling, then when it started to rain, I preferred not to take any risks. Iker overtook me and I dropped back behind him to see what his strategy was. The track dried out quickly, and I pushed again to take the win.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nIker Lecuona (Aruba.it Racing \u2013 Ducati #7)<\/strong>
\n\u201cI\u2019m very happy. It\u2019s my fourth consecutive second place, and that means our level has improved a lot. Obviously, coming close to victory and not quite managing to take it leaves you wanting a bit more in terms of satisfaction, but I have to focus solely on the progress we\u2019re making.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was a sensational Saturday for the Aruba.it Racing \u2013 Ducati team.
