LCR Honda's Randy De Puniet reckons he has no concerns about riding in this weekend's Portugese MotoGP race as his broken ankle has recovered enough to allow him to be 100 per cent focused on getting a result.
The Frenchman broke the bone in a motocross training crash a few weeks a go and although he has been racing since, the injury has obviously been hampering his performance.
“This break helped me a lot in recovering from the ankle fracture. I feel better now and can finally race at 100 per cent. In the last two weeks I practiced a lot of sport to be fit for the rest of the season and my ankle is responding well," said De Puniet.
"During the night it’s still a bit swollen but I am not worried about that. The Estoril track is not one of my favourites because it does not suit to my riding style but with four races to go I must do my best to score as many points as
possible.
"Our target is to qualify in the top eight every race. After the new agreement with LCR for the 2010 I feel more relaxed and can concentrate in the final part of the championship.”
