After two excellent seasons in the 125 cc French championship (runner-up in 1997 and champion in 1998), Randy de Puniet made his Grand Prix debut in 1999. Too inconstant, he didn't record any result in relation with his potential. 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 earned a 4th final position. Although he gained one 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 signed up with the Aspar team very lately. He took one more victory but only finished 8th. Recruited by Kawasaki in 2006, he recorded his best result at the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix. Considered as a fast rider, Randy de Puniet crashed too often during races to turn his good qualifyings into points. Single rider for satellite Hondaa Cecchinello team since 2008, he worked a lot to correct this failing and he's now more consistant and competitive. His 2010 sesaon was wasted due ti a serious injury ans his contract with Lucio Cecchinello's team wasn't renewed. Aboard a satellite Ducati, his 2011 campaign looks like a nightmare.
