Adam Raga is on a roll
By Team TMX on 10th Feb 15
Adam Raga had a fantastic performance at Znith de Pau (France). The Gas Gas rider took victory after a very close race, that ended up going in his favor in the end.
With this win, Raga trims the points difference between Toni Bou and himself, proving that he is a serious contender for the title of the 2015 X-Trial World Championship.
Raga has been on a mission since the opening round in Sheffield where he took third place, followed by second in Marseilles and now a win in at Pau.
The Gas Gas rider breaks the winning streak of his rival in the X-Trial World Championship, Toni Bou, and is now situated just eight points off the lead before the next round to be held in Barcelona.
The Palau Sant Jordi (The palace of Saint George) in Barcelona will host the next round on March 8. This will be the fourth round of the World X-Trial, a special event for Adam Raga who, before his home audience, will look to keep his drive for success with another victory.
Adam Raga: "I am very happy for this victory. It's been great. I want to congratulate the whole team, because they have done a great job and I think we're in a good line. We are working very well and we should be very pleased with a victory as well, which is not easy. We have been very close in all sections of the final. Although, in one of the longest sections, I have been faster in the second round. I have finished on time and that added pressure on my rivals, who have since failed. From there, I took advantage and I have assured the victory until the end. I am very happy because we are making a good progression from earlier this year. We won the trial de Toulouse -not a scoring event for the World Championship - and now this in Pau, and these good results encourage us to go on and wanting to get to Barcelona, the next round of the World Championship."
