Takumi Takahashi is set to fill in for an injured Alex Rins at the LCR Honda MotoGP team for this weekend's San Marino Grand Prix at Misano.
Takahashi, who was part of the works Honda team that won the Suzuka 8 Hours last month, is set to make his first MotoGP appearance since he made a wildcard outing at Motegi back in 2015.
Lecuona said previously that he would have to prioritise his Honda WSBK commitments in the event of any clashes with MotoGP, having also made two outings for the factory team in the latter series this year. Even Jorge Lorenzo's name was mooted at one stage in what became a complicated 'casting' procedure for LCR's home race.
