After two excellent seasons in the 125 cc French championship (vice-champion in 1997 and champion in 1998), Randy de Puniet made his Grand Prix debut in 1999. After inconstant results, he moved to the 250 cc class and made real progress (1 pole and 2 podiums in 2002). This allowed him to secure a factory ride in 2003 with Lucio Cecchinello’s team. He claimed nine top-3 finishes, among which three victories, and earnt a 4th final position. Although he gained a rank in the standings, the 2004 season was less brilliant with only one win. During the winter, his switch to the MotoGP class failed and he got a place in the Aspar team very lately. He took one more victory and finished 8th. Recruited by Kawasaki in 2006, he recorded his best result at the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix. Fast in qualifying, Randy de Puniet still crashes too often during races. Now, he's under contract with Lucio Cecchinello's satellite Honda team for the 2008 and 2009 seasons.
