Randy de Puniet to undergo surgery before Estoril

With almost a month off between the Spanish GP and the upcoming Estoril round, several MotoGP riders have gone into the health maintence mode.
Dani Pedrosa is recovering from his shoulder operation, Cal Crutchlow from arm pump surgery, Loris Capirossi is nursing an inflammation to his shoulder tendon and muscle, and now we have Randy de Puniet, who is also going to go under the knife.

The French rider informed his fans via his personal website that he’ll be going into surgery to remove one of the screws in his knee ((which was inserted into his broken leg after last year’s crash at Sachsenring) to relieve some of his lingering pain and to be more comfortable on the bike.
