Randy de Puniet - LCR Honda 2009
Randy de Puniet, the MotoGP LCR Honda rider, suffered a broken accident while training on Saturday on a motorcross bike.
The Frenchman, was taking part in a summer fitness programme with his personal trainer at the weekend, who himself is a former motorcross rider, when de Puniet crashed entering a corner, injuring his leg.
The 28-year-old, was taken to a nearby hospital where x-rays showed a fracture to the left ankle. The rider underwent surgery to insert a screw into the bone and was discharged yesterday.
De Puniet said;
“Yves and I have a specific training programme to improve my performance on track this year. This programme has helped me a lot so far and through the summer break I didn’t want to stop training. So we went out to do a short motocross session, but unfortunately I had a fall and the impact on the ground caused a fracture of the left ankle.”
“I am very disappointed about this setback but training is very important for me in order to be in good shape in MotoGP. I will do my best to race in Brno and I am sure that the Clinica Mobile staff will support me in the best way.”
It will now be a race against time to get the Honda rider back to fitness for the next round of the MotoGP Championship at Brno on 14-16 August.
