Mads Østberg parts way with co-driver Ola Fløene

After a partnership of a year and half, Mads Østberg and Ola Fløene have decided to part ways, due to sporting reasons.

Adapta Team principal Morten Østberg said:

“This is a team decision. We have seen over a period that there have been challenges in the relation between Mads and Ola. In the end, we must think about what is best for the team. On high performance level, everything has to run smooth.

“While we are working on a permanent solution, Mads will be joined by Adapta Motorsport co-drivers Torstein Eriksen and Patrik Barth for the next rallies, starting with Eriksen in Rally Finland.

“We know both of them well, and we are certain that they have the experience and skill to perform well and fill the role.

“Ola will still be connected to Adapta Motorsport. We are working together with different plans separated to Mads’ WRC program.”
