Fran\u00e7ois Duval achieved a very nice podium in Germany and will start the Rally of Spain at the wheel of the same Citro\u00ebn Xsara WRC from the OMV Kronos Citro\u00ebn team. The Belgian will have to do everything to secure a podium finish with a new feat.<\/p>\n
Fourth in 2003 with a Focus WRC, second in 2005 in a Xsara WRC, and sixth last year with the Fabia WRC, Fran\u00e7ois Duval has already achieved good results on the Catalan roads. And his performance in Germany gives him an interesting rating:<\/p>\n
\u00ab I am very happy to have this opportunity. It proves that our great race in Germany is being rewarded. I hope I can return the favor with another good result. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Duval’s presence will, in the event of a podium finish, deprive the Ford team, and mainly Gronholm, of significant points as they compete with Loeb in the championship.<\/p>\n
The Spanish Rally will begin on Thursday with reconnaissance shakedowns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
