De Puniet Down at German GP

Despite cloudy skies and rain in the morning, the ninth round of the season at Sachsenring race track was conducted in the dry. Unfortunately REV'IT! rider Randy De Puniet did not finish the race crashing out on lap one. After qualifying 6th on Saturday, the 28-year-old made a good start from the second row and was third when he crashed out in the gravel.

Luckily Randy de Puniet escaped unhurt from the accident and will be back on track with his crew next weekend at Donington Park race track. Rossi won the German GP followed by his team mate Lorenzo and Pedrosa.

De Puniet:

"I am very disappointed. I had a good start and was in third position behind Pedrosa. After that I made a mistake in the first right corner, because I opened the throttle too early suffering a big highside. Anyway I feel lucky as I escaped unhurt from the crash. This is bad for me and the team and especially for the championship. We could finish in the top five as we had the speed to make an amazing race. However I am still holding the 10th position and we are already looking forward to the race in Donington."
