De Puniet confident at Donington Park
22 June 2007 / Results / PhotosRandy claimed fourth place on the leaderboard on combined times with a fastest lap of 1'44.302 in the first session of the day. This put him just 0.553 seconds behind current championship leader and today's pacesetter, Casey Stoner. The 26-year-old Frenchman sat out half of the second session as the morning's activities had taken their toll on his injured knee but, once back out on track, he put in another 16 productive laps. A brief foray through the gravel at Redgate failed to topple him over, in conditions that saw the likes of Valentino Rossi and Dani Pedrosa either crashing or veering off onto the grass.

Hoping to build on his positive performance at the last race in Catalunya, where he gained fifth place, de Puniet's looking strong and confident: a fact reflected in his notable lap times despite the conditions.
Randy de Puniet commented: "The conditions were bad and vision wasn't great but I'm happy about the bike: I had a good feeling and I'm confident. We've been working on the tyres and the mapping, which are the most important things here. My knee's been painful but after this weekend there's a break, so I hope it will be completely better for the Sachsenring. Tomorrow, we will work on more of the same, especially tyre choice, depending on the weather."
