LCR Honda to make Playboy Paddock Girl preparations

Randy de Puniet and his LCR Honda team have to wait until Friday afternoon to begin their on-track preparations for the Gran Premio d’Italia Alice, although on Thursday night the MotoGP outfit will get a head start on their grid choice for the weekend.

The Frenchman and Team Manager Lucio Cecchinello will be on hand at an event organised by LCR Honda and title sponsor Playboy, part of the jury to choose De Puniet’s umbrella girl for Mugello.

Held at the 4000 person capacity Central Park club in Cascine in Florence, the competition will bring together sportsmen, models and Playboy playmates, with confirmed attendance from Francesca Lukasik, Sarah Nile, and local star Cristina de Pin.

The event kicks off at 10.30pm, with the Paddock Girl crowned at the conclusion of the night.
