MOTOGP » de Puniet injury hampers development

The crash in the race was his 19th this season... what can you say?

I have a feeling the LCR bike is cursed. It seems to fling everyone off it, starting with Stoner in '06, with a bit of Checa in '07, and now the torpedo. Does the team grease the tires before each race or what?

Why is Randy de Ruinit in MotoGP? Any rider from 250 could do it better.

Injury hampers development, crashes hamper career... like a personal moto! To finish first, first you must finish!

Randy should give it up before he kills himself. No rider can have as many offs as he has has an get away with it for ever. The next could be his last.

The headline should read "DEPUNIET INJURY HAMPERS DEVELOPMENT......... OF LEATHERS, HELMETS & GLOVES"

Cos if he doesn't ride, he won't be able to crash test any more riding gear!

I think Randy is riding over his limits and echo what Jock Turd said, maybe more suited to a career in WSB, he could get away with a lot more with his style of riding in WSB.

not so sure if he could get away with it in wsb theres nearly twice as many bikes to skittle, cant say he doesnt try though can we

"To finish first, first you must finish"

I counter that with Doohan's ""It's easier to take a fast guy and teach him not to crash than to take a slow guy and teach him to go fast."

De Puniet is fast. He proves this in qualifying but he can't put it together in races.

All he needs is someone to teach him the not crashing part.

My vote is to put a red rocket under DeP and see if he can churn out some Stoner results! Both those boys don't seem to do well when they need to push, but give them a comfort zone and they can tear up the pack.

DePuniet is a test rider for safety equipment...
its out,now you all know.
i couldn't keep the secret any longer
