LCR Team

Lucio Cecchinello Racing also known as LCR Team is a motorcycle racing team competing in the MotoGP World Championship under the name Castrol Honda LCR with Johann Zarco and Pro Honda LCR with Diogo Moreira.

The team was established by Italian rider Lucio Cecchinello in 1996, with LCR being an initialism for Lucio Cecchinello Racing.

He set up his own team for the 125cc World Championship using Honda motorcycles, earning several top ten finishes. Similar results followed in the 1997.

In the 1998 season the team recruited two-time 125cc runner-up Noboru Ueda to ride alongside Cecchinello.

In only his second race for the team, Ueda got the team their first Grand Prix victory in the Malaysian Grand Prix at Johor Circuit.

Cecchinello's first win for his own team came later that year in Madrid Grand Prix at Jarama.

Cecchinello finished 5th in overall standings while Ueda only managed to finish 13th after missing half of the season due to injury.

Hiroyuki Kikuchi was drafted as Ueda's replacement during his absence.
