Taken to the hospital in Aix en Provence, x-rays revealed a fractured left ankle.
DePuniet underwent surgery to insert a screw into his ankle and left the hospital on Monday and will meeting with the Clinica Mobile doctors to start his rehabilitation therapy.
De Puniet stated:“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.
”DePuniet is currently 8th in the MotoGP championship standings and is linked for a place in Herve Poncharal’s Yamaha Tech 3 team in 2010.
