To the more casual MotoGP fan, Randy de Puniet’s performances this season have been more than sub par, even if everyone initally expected that his riding style would suit the Ducati, but it may also be do to the fact that the only one rider has been able to constantly wring out something from that temperamental machine and he’s not even on it this year, be it that de Puniet has just had some really rotten luck this season.
De Puniet wants to stay in MotoGP, but will Pramac’s Paolo Campinoti want to keep him and will he want to continue paying the French rider’s handsome salary? De Puniet’s manager, Eric Mahe is currently making the rounds of the other satellite teams, but at the present there are not that many options open, however one thing is clear in de Puniet’s mind, that he’s not going to a Moto2 or a CRT team and he’s not be going to World Superbikes (he’s been linked to Kawasaki) unless he’s got a very competitive ride, he’d rather stay at home.
“If I go to SBKs it will be to ride in front, not in 8th or 9th.
Otherwise I’ll stay at home waiting to be called in as a replacement rider, but what is crystal clear is that I will not ride for a CRT or in Moto2.
