de Puniet Breaks Ankle
de P has broken an ankle falling from a motocross bike last Saturday. That's really bad luck as he's been doing so much better on the track this year. With Brno coming up on the 16th he doesn't have much time for recovery.

Terrible luck for him as he's really been showing a bit this year. Just a shame that the best form of training for them (motocross) is also so dangerous.

Such a shame as hes been riding really well this year, especially at Donington the other week.

Ironic that he should injury himself away from a race weekend GUtting though, he's been starting to look like a real threat and demonstrated at Donnington that he can place well when he stays on the pony.
You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

Hmm, this is the third rider in recent memory having a motocross related accident. Simoncelli cocked up the season start because of a motocross accident, and I guess the other one was Elias? Not so sure about that.
Terrible luck for Randy, because this year he's been pretty special, consistently behind the usual "Aliens", but these guys ought to be more careful with these motocross training sessions. It seems they're picking up more injuries during training than in the actual race.

Is it really 'bad luck'? I mean if someone has trouble staying on a bike when on the track then surely having a go at a reknownedly dangerous sport is asking for trouble If you were living with Randy De Puniet and he said "just going out on the motocross bike" then surely you'd be compelled to say something along the lines of "are you sure Randy, there's a repeat of Top Gear on Dave?"

Is there a better sound than that of Porsche engined Flat-6 ???
