Gresini Ducati's Iker Lecuona says he has a strong feel for Michelin's front tyre, saying he can "understand where the limit is," and suggested that experience could be an advantage when WorldSBK switches from Pirelli to Michelin in 2027. He qualified 10th at Silverstone.
Saying he can understand where the tyre limit is tells you his feel from corner entry to exit is clicking with Michelin. From where I sit, that's smart positioning ahead of the 2027 supplier switch — honestly, a pretty sharp read on his part.

Does switching from Pirelli to Michelin really change that much?
The 2027 WorldSBK pecking order might shift — I'm excited.
"I can feel the limit" — that kind of statement is reassuring for safety.
Tyre compatibility talk always comes down to feel over data, doesn't it.
Is this a setup for Lecuona heading back to WorldSBK?
Only P10 in qualifying, yet the talk is pretty confident.
