The Frenchman confirmed he is a fan of the Spanish track and found a good rhythm in the dry posting the 6th fastest time (1’49.952) in the afternoon session enjoying riding his machinery at the 5.078km race track which boasts elevation changes and some spectacular corners.
De Puniet – 6th – 1’49.952
Randy: “After yesterdays engine brake issues the guys worked in the right way to improve the bike and this second row makes me very confident for tomorrows race. We just lacked some rear grip in this morning session but we made another step forward in the afternoon. I finally enjoyed riding my bike after the bad injury I suffered in Germany. The last month has been very tough for me but now I feel in good shape again and more consistent on this track compared to Misano. Of course I am not at 100% yet and I know that this race will be close but I feel more comfortable now and it seems I do not need to push hard to be fast and this is very positive”.
