With the very poor start to the season of Hyundai en WRC, the second position ofAdrien fourmauxTonight, with one stage remaining in the Safari Rally, it's almost a miracle. Having overcome all the day's difficulties, the driver from northern France carved his way first to the provisional podium, then to second place, following his teammate's misfortunes. Thierry Neuvilleand is now able to deliver an almost unexpected result to his team: The mechanics worked like crazy today, I really want to thank them, and now I want to do everything I can to keep this place on the podium, if only to thank them for the work they've done.

A controlled attack tomorrow for Adrien Fourmaux

Tomorrow, it's Super Sunday, which, in Sweden as in Monte Carlo, was the only real opportunity for Adrien Fourmaux to score big points. Obviously, the Hyundai Motorsport driver has many arguments in his favor to make up ground in the championship tomorrow against his rivals, but he won't be going all out: Unlike last year, when we attacked a lot on Sunday, we'll make sure to conserve energy tomorrow. " he indicated, preferring to save his place on the podium rather than take big risks in a quest for Sunday points. Tomorrow's stage, which may also be affected by the weather, looks very tricky in any case: The Oserengoni stage will be narrow and very twisty, and potentially very slippery if it rains. Hell's Gate will be much faster, with, in particular, fesh-fesh. If Adrien Fourmaux and Alexandre Coria manage to reach the podium tomorrow, it will be their tenth career podium finish in the WRC.
