Yamaha In Contention For Final Podium Result After Penultimate Stage At Merzouga Rally

Continuing his impressive run at this year's #merzougarally, Yamalube #yamaha Official Rally Team rider Adrien Van Beveren crossed the finish line of today's stage four in fourth position, to earn a spot inside the top three in the provisional overall standings. His teammate Helder Rodrigues came home in sixth position.

Battling his way through one more challenging day of rally #racing, Van Beveren completed the 170 km long special stage in a time of 02:27:46, posting the fourth best time of the day. After four difficult days of #racing in Morocco the Frenchman is provisionally third in the overall standings and looks set to deliver #yamaha and the WR450F Rally machine an impressive podium result at the close of the 2016 #merzougarally.

Following a remarkable performance yesterday, which saw him provisionally climb to second in the overall standings, Adrien's Yamalube #yamaha Official Rally Team teammate Helder Rodrigues frustratingly took a wrong turn halfway through the day's special stage and lost precious time. Placing sixth the Portuguese rider is now fifth in the overall standings, less than two minutes behind a provisional podium result.

Wrapping up the Moroccan #event, the final stage will see competitors contest a 35km loop in the deep sand of the Yasmina dry lake. Riders will line up for a motocross-style start and will race two short loops before arriving at the end of what has been a long and demanding #event.
