Pramac Racing injured duo Loris Capirossi, Randy de Puniet to run at Brno event – MotoGP news
Pramac Racing rider’s duo Loris Capirossi and Randy de Puniet will be racing at Brno, Czech Republic with lingering pains from their previous injuries.
The 11th MotoGP event, the Cardion AB Grand Prix will be held on August 14, 2011.
In the 2006 MotoGP season, Capirossi won a race at Brno aboard a factory Ducati machine, which motivates him for a better effort. His crash during the Assen weekend has still left him with a reviving pain. He was sidelined for Mugello and Sachsenring and
made his comeback at Laguna Seca.
Capirossi said, “Unfortunately, the shoulder problem is persisting. The doctor said I should undergo surgery, but I’ll only consider that after the championship. For now I’m undergoing therapy every day. For Brno I hope to continue improving my physical
condition.”
He was willing to have a break which he availed during the short summer gap. The Italian rider is keen to race at Brno and score some good results for his satellite Ducati team. The Czech venue is one of his favourite circuits in the MotoGP event calendar.
Capirossi hopes he can recover from his injuries this weekend.
Randy de Puniet has collected a GP win in 250cc class during the 2003 season. After having a severe crash at Laguna Seca the French rider, Randy de Puniet was called off from racing at Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix.
Despite a rising pain, he was determined to race but the doctors called it a bad decision which could have worsened the injuries.
Randy De Puniet said, “Missing the race at Laguna Seca was very difficult for me to accept, especially after the hard work carried out during practice and qualifying. During the past couple of weeks, I visited the doctor to better understand the situation
with my pelvis.”
The good news is that Puniet has not sustained any fracture to his pelvic bone. De Puniet is working to rehab and is undergoing physical therapies. It seems that he has gained strength for the Brno event.
He also claims that his Desmosedici has worked well in previous races. Meanwhile he believes that being not able to race with such an opportunity would be wasting the chance. Let’s see how he fares in the upcoming event.
