We show that a if a Riemannian manifold admits a universal cover with bounded
geometry and if 0 does not belong to the spectrum or is an isolated point in
the spectrum of the Laplacian on $\ell$-forms, then there exists $1<p<2$ such
that for all $p<r<p^{\prime}$ the Hodge - de Rham decomposition for
$L^{r}$-forms holds ($p^{\prime}$ denotes the conjugate of $p$).
