It’s not really surprising how well Randy de Puniet did on his debut with the Pramac Ducati.
The French rider is known for his wild and aggressive riding style, and the Desmosedici seems to suit his win or bin it attitude, something similar to the way Casey Stoner rode the wheels off the Ducati.
De Puniet in this video on the second day of testing at Valencia, reveals that the new Bridgestone’s are very good and all the riders able to take off from 3 to 5 tenths from previous lap times and that he may have to undergo surgery to repair an incorrect bone alignment after breaking his tibia and fibula during the Sachsenring GP.
With the three month testing ban in place, he should have more that enough time to recover properly, than the three weeks it took for his comeback.
