Randy de Puniet, from the handlebars to the microphone and vice versa

From his beginnings on the microphone, in 2016 with Eurosport, then broadcaster of the championship MotoGP, Randy de Puniet does not keep the best memories of it. “ I had just turned the page on the Grands Prix, but there was still a lot of frustration, slips the Parisian. I had to mourn MotoGP. » Today associated with David Dumain and Jules Deremble, Randy de Puniet has found his place on television. “ Today, I feel good in my role as a consultant “, he assures. What David Dumain confirms. “ Randy amazes me with his sagacity and relevance, notes the Canal + commentator. With Covid, I had to work with different consultants. Randy stands out for his reading of the race. I raced in the French championship and Endurance. I didn't imagine there could be such a difference in understanding what's happening on the track or even in the pits. Randy knows what everyone is going to do, when they are going to come in, come out, with what tires… He provides valuable analysis which allows me to rely on him to give information. We never step on each other's toes. »
