After seeing the incredibly strong challenge in 2010 was brutally frustrating and limited in his mid-summer damage to the German Grand Prix, Randy de Puniet hopes that a change in the team next year to give him a springboard to achieve success with the most beautiful in his MotoGP campaign to date. His fifth MotoGP season in 2010 started so promising with de Puniet Honda LCR, since up to five or six best to stop the opening eight games has seen him leave the Catalunya – the scene brilliantly in the fourth position , what a sweat, and is the undoubted highlight of his best – is the fifth investment in a brilliant lawyers.
And then, just two weeks after the race was stopped, an accident of the Sachsenring, where the incoming hot and Pramac competitor Aleix Espargaro and Rizla Suzuki’s Alvaro Bautista, a Frenchman had fractured his left tibia and fibula.
Despite a rapid return to the grid at Brno in the Czech Republic is less than a month later, the rhythm was gone – and a sixth place starting next nine outings Punished if they slip to ninth place in the final standings, but to take the checkered flag in every race bar Aragon, consistency remains commendable.
?My 2010 season was in two parts,? he acknowledged, speaking to Crash.net Radio. ?The first part, until my injury, was perfect because I was fifth in the championship and had some very good races, but after that I broke my ankle and my leg. I came back as soon as possible, but the last part of the season was not so easy even if I finished five or six times in the top ten.
?It was difficult, because my left leg was not so strong, and it was forbidden for me to crash again. After that, I had a lot of problems changing gear due to my ankle, also because I broke it last year, too. That?s why it was difficult, and after the good first part of the season, I was disappointed with the final result of ninth in the championship. For sure, [without the injury] I would have been able to fight Ben Spies to be the first satellite rider, but that?s life. I gave my best all season, and I have no regrets.?
Describes his three consecutive starts first line – second at Silverstone and Assen, and the third at Catalunya – as “perfect” and the last eight races as a “good” if they Punished now looking forward rather than back, which jumped ship after three years with the Ducati Pramac Honda LCR, where he says he feels good. Lapping comfortably quicker than Toni Elias on his old bike in the post-season test in Valencia last month was an encouraging start.
?I wanted a change,? the 29-year-old affirmed. ?After three years in the team, I had some good memories with LCR, but the last part of the [2010] season was difficult. I really wanted to ride for either Ducati or Suzuki. Suzuki wasn?t possible, but Ducati is a good challenge for me and I?m very happy at Pramac. After the first test I feel very confident, because I had a very good feeling with the bike and the team.
?I like the front end of the bike ? it?s a style that suits me ? and the engine characteristics and top speed are much better [than the Honda]. The only negative point is the entry into corners on the brakes, but we worked a lot in Valencia and found a good set-up. That?s why I?m confident, because I was faster than the Honda after just 40 or 50 laps.
?I was surprised in a good way, because after three years with the same people it?s difficult to change, but the people in the team are very young, I have a factory Ducati engineer and the team is professional. I think we can have a good year together.?
Rejecting the idea that a series of changes rider in 2011 will change the hierarchy something they loved Punished hopes that he and teammate Loris Capirossi will be able to “push each other” hard next season, welcomed Italian as a competitor and fast “just a guy who has great experience riding with Ducati, Suzuki, Honda and Yamaha, there could be much help for the team and for me too.”
As for his goal for the campaign, many times 250cc winner acknowledges that his main objective is simply to enjoy its best year in MotoGP, which would mean an improvement in the ninth inning, came in 2010 – and while preparing for spend the winter on the other side of the hemisphere, Australia, where his girlfriend, Randy is optimistic about his chances of doing just that.
?I will take one month off to fully recover, and then start my training again at the beginning of January to be strong for the first race,? he explained. ?Maybe some riders need a little bit more time [to adapt to their new bikes], but for me, I?m sure I?ll be 100 per cent in Qatar.
?I would like 2011 to be my best year, to improve upon my results in the championship, to be the first satellite rider and to beat a lot of factory riders. I?m quite confident, so now I just need to wait for the first two or three races to see exactly where I am.?
