Sachsenring, 15 July: The battle for the 2010 MotoGP World Championship approaches its halfway point this weekend with the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring race track at 80km from Dresden. LCR Honda MotoGP Team racer Randy de Puniet goes into this eighth race of 18 events holding the fifth position in the points chase continuing his and the LCR Honda team’s superb progress in 2010.
The 29-year-old has been the talk of the last few races with a series of stunning performances aboard his satellite-spec RC212V. The hard-riding Frenchman has started the last three races from the front row of the grid and at Catalunya rode to a fourth-place finish, his best result of the year so far.
De Puniet: “I’m look forward to racing in Germany and I believe we can get a strong result this weekend. In the last three races we had a very good race pace; it’s a great feeling to fight with the factory bikes and riders. The German track is very short the first part is very slow then the second part is quite a lot faster. I have been very fast in the T1 and sections T2 and also in the final section but last year I could not finish the race as I crashed out. But now I must remain focused on my target to keep my position as the best privateer”.
