Valencia, 06 November: LCR Honda MotoGP Team rider Randy De Puniet could not translate his good pace on a brilliant performance today because of some rear grip problems in the 60-minute qualifying session of the last round of the season at Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia qualifying 11th (1’32.925). At the end of the 45-minute practice period this morning, the 29-year-old was in 7th place tuning his RC212V to the tight and twisty nature of the 4.005 Km Spanish race track.
After the abysmal weather encountered at the previous two races in Australia and Portugal De Puniet was grateful for the dry track completing all free practices with consistent lap times and aimed to get a second row start for his 200th GP but he struggled with rear grip in the last part of the session which saw Stoner on pole position with a best lap time of 1’31.799.
De Puniet – 11th – 1’32.925
De Puniet: “This morning went quite well and in the first part of the qualifying session we confirmed the race tyres for tomorrow. But once I came out on soft tyres to post a good flying lap for the grid I could not get the same potential and the rear started to move a lot. The bike was not stable on throttle and I could not really improve my lap time. We have good base on race trim which make me confident for the race but I must take a good start like in Estoril. I really want to end this season and my last year with LCR in the best way tomorrow”.
