Randy de Puniet is the sole French rider in the MotoGP 800cc class and who better than the LCR Honda rider can take you through the famed 4.180 mt long French race track of Le Mans with its 9 left turns and 4 right.

Check out the note on the chicane where de Puniet writes “very slow, attention on the first lap with new tires”, could he be remembering the 2006 race when he was riding a Kawasaki and had qualified fourth, but was taken out on the first lap?

Here’s what the French rider has to say before this weekend’s French round:

“Of course, Le Mans is a big event for me and the team. You always want to do your best in every race, but having so many fans urging you on is an extra boost, so I want to get the best possible result for all the people who support me all year round. I think we can have a better race at Le Mans than we did at Jerez. We made some good improvements to the bike during the tests at Jerez, so I want to say a big thank you to my crew for all their hard work. I like Le Mans - it’s quite stop and go and there’s a lot of hard braking into the hairpins, which I enjoy.”
