Fourmaux: “I think I’m below my capabilities”

After missing two races, the Frenchman can be dropped, but the latter has another way. ” I am not stupidHe said, I know very well that I am in a very difficult situation. I try to stay positive, to set the record straight. It was already so last year and my program was only decided in November…but it’s true that I don’t have any results to rely on to claim something next year. I can’t say what you’ve done this season is good. There are positive points, but they are complex and at some point the results should speak for themselves. I’m realistic, that’s not the case. If plans do not change ahead of the Catalunya Rally, Formo intends to try to capitalize on them.

” I don’t want to appear in “it’s my last chance” mode, but on the contrary, to have fun and get a good position, because I need it. I’m tired of having to finish 7^e Or when it happens even though there are things going on. I need to show my speed, because I am often asked to finish. I think I am below my capabilities. I tell myself that if he should stop, he might make a good impression. I will prepare myself as never before. with Alex (Korea assistant), we work on notes, announcements, rhythm… For my part, I work a lot on my physical, mental condition and focus… The goal is to get to Spain as fast as possible. I don’t have a choice anyway. Until it is completely over, you still have to believe in it. So Catalonia will be an important meeting. The penultimate round is scheduled for October (20-23), this gives him time to prepare well for what could be his last race on M-Sport in 2022. What next?
