MOTOGP » de Puniet beats the factories - again

That is some going Randy! Bonne chance mon ami

Guess I was wrong about it prob. not being a qualifier...I must say, 12 - 14 laps is nice, but still only 1/2 distance

Randy makes Team green feel sorry that they didn't treat him with a little bit more respect. Shades of Stoner on the LCR? Except he hasn't dropped it yet and I really hope he won't either this year

The Kawasaki might have to be "overridden" like the Ducati???

Final day tomorrow. New game, new chances to set a marker...

Very true Harry. I said something similar a couple of times.
I believe in Randy, the choice to use öhlins suspension and part of his own team
in combination with the fact that he has signed a two year deal with LCR will do him good,
it's almost like a wedding

Quite impressive to what extend the Showa/Öhlins change can affect the performance of a bike. I mean, suspension is a major part, but Showa is not a "beginner" either.

(Reminds me of the single tyre period between Bridge and Michelin.) In the future they might have ta add "suspension"

Its only testing. Remember Tamada was running quick times in testing last year, then look what happened. Nobody is pulling out the big guns and they're still doing laptimes around the 07 session.

Your right about that Jamaal, still early days.
Imagine being handd a prototype motorcycle that you run for the first time and then taking it to the limits...

harryx, your wrong he did crash it...

and funniest part about it was that he did it in his race simulation... lol how appropriate.

still its good to see him running fast tho

Darn, many have dropped it, but I didn't know he did so too. Sepang seems to be a greasy track since it was resurfaced last year.

He really emulates Stoner in perfection then. I wonder when we'll see the real Randy!!!

I can remember watching De-puniet a fair few years ago & thought he was possibly a goo bet for a 250cc championship, however much I like the guy let's get serious, he put's bikes down the road far too often to be a real threat.

I know he has the speed he always has had but lack's consistency apart from in testing and remember last year he put in some very good qualifying performances, I wish him all the best because he deserves it.
