Raga alive and kicking – Trial

Adam Raga Trial 2013 01Adam Raga – Gas Gas snatched his fourth win of the 2013 FIM Trial World Championship to keep his title hopes very much alive and kicking. Raga who has twice won this title before, back in 2005 and 2006, has now won the Czech Trial Grand Prix four times thanks to his latest victory in Kramolin. The thirty-one year old is currently producing some of his best ever form to keep reigning champion Toni Bou – Repsol Montesa against the ropes with just two rounds of the 2013 series to go.

Speaking about his most recent GP win Raga said. “Today I made a very good trial, with only one real mistake. The five in section three on the last lap was the only error, and even then it was a little unfortunate. I went in the same rut as the other two laps, but on the final time it was a bit deeper and it hit my feet quite hard. I was perhaps lucky not to injure my feet. Anyway I managed to keep my concentration and to finish the job off.”

“I am really tired now, as the pressure in these type of competitions is very tough on you. I am in the perfect position in the championship and I am really looking forward to the next round in England. I hope it is slippery there, as those conditions should suit me better.”
