Randy De Puniet For Pramac Racing 2011

Randy De Puniet has confirmed to join Pramac Racing Ducati for next 2011 MOtoGP race.So this speculation about this rumors was answered. Pramac Racing Ducati will have 2 riders for 2011 line-up after Loris Capirossi and Randy De Puniet signed. This Frenchman and Ducati has announced this agreement on Saturday at Valencia. 

“Randy is a really good talent and I believe his experience will be very helpful in developing the bike,” said Pramac Technical Director, Fabiano Sterlacchini. “I’m quite sure his riding style will suit our bike so I’m really optimistic that we’ll have a really good season.”

He continued: “I’m very optimistic about next season because we have two experienced and talented riders in Loris and Randy, and with this bike you do have to change your riding style a lot from a 250cc bike. We saw this year with Mika (Kallio) and Aleix (Espargaró) that their experience was only in 250cc and their first MotoGP bike was the Ducati. They struggled to find the right tuning and it was difficult sometimes to find a compromise.”

“With Loris I think it will be easier because he rode this bike in 2007. The bike has developed since then but it is more or less the same,” he concluded.

Tech 3 Looking For Crutchlow

After a announcement on Sunday evening at next weekend's Brno round is expected to confirm that Rossi will leave Yamaha for Ducati at the end of this season, Monster Yamaha Tech 3 boss Herve Poncharal has revealed that Cal Crutchlow is "the favourite" to join with Tech 3, replace Ben Spies. Ben Spies will move to Fiat Yamaha Team, replace Rossi place and be a partner for Jorge Lorenzo.

Tech 3 also waiting for Colin Edwards for next season. Edwards will move back to WSBK to lead the factory Ducati team. If this scenario happened, Tech 3 need 2 rider to replace Spies and Edwards.

During the interview on moto.caradisiac.com, Poncharal went through a process of elimination of the possible riders. There are some candidate to join with Tech 3. Some names were appear on this nomination, such as Andrea Dovizioso and Randy De Puniet. Poncharal declared a Dovizioso deal to be "interesting, but impossible" since Dovi has "a concrete contract with HRC to get an official bike in 2011 due to his results".

The next name offered was Moto2 title leader Toni Elias, who was also quickly dismissed. "For sure he is having a good season in Moto2, but don't forget that he is there because nobody wanted him in MotoGP." We all know that Elias had a bad performance on MotoGP.

Let see what will happened next
