Valencia, 05 November: LCR Honda MotoGP Team racer Randy de Puniet hits the ultimate round of the season at Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia in a good mood as he will celebrate his 200th GP on Sunday since his debut in 1998. The Frenchman riding the LCR RC212V will become the 15th rider in the 62-year history of Gran Prix racing to reach the milestone of 200 GP starts across all classes.
De Puniet began to set up his Honda machine with the seventh fastest time (1’33.535) in today’s free practice session at the 4.005Km circuit which was held in dry conditions with cloudy skies and ambience temperature of 20° degrees. After the brilliant 6th place obtained in Portugal last week end, the 29-year-old is determined to stay up in the pack with a great end of the season at Valencia.
De Puniet – 7th – 1’33.535
De Puniet: “I am pretty satisfied about both sessions. This morning I could make a long run already and started working on the race map which was our main issue last year in the middle of the race as our rear grip dropped a lot. We still have some points to improve about engine power delivery and chassis set up but we have two sessions more to fine tune the bike tomorrow. I aim to take a front or second row start tomorrow in the qualifying because it is very difficult to overtake on this track. I feel excited about my 200th GP and hope to celebrate it with a brilliant result”.
