By John Dickinson on 23rd Aug 17
ADAM Raga, twice Trial World Champion, TRS factory No.1 ace and reigning World vice trials champion, has been signed to headline the Yeadon Guiseley clubs Mackenzie Trophy Supertrial this Bank Holiday Monday, August 28.
The popular Catalan comes calling to hopefully give his British opposition a moving target and ensure they put on a great show of extreme trials for the fans
And making this a not to be missed head to head contest is Gas Gas No.1 James Dabill.
The Dibsta has been a rare visitor to Britain since taking the Gas Gas factory ride, contesting the Spanish series in 2017.
But he showed that he will take some beating, having won last Sunday's Berks Bonanza Super Trial.
The Y&G extranaganza will take place on the rocky slopes of Addingham Moorside, high above Silsden and the select group of riders include the Gas Gas quartet of Dan and Jack Peace, Jack Price and Michael Brown, Beta's Iwan Roberts and Vertigo's youngster Toby Martyn.
Dan and Toby joined Dabill on the Bonanza podium last Sunday.
In Qualifying all riders will tackle an eight-section course over two laps.
The top 10 will transfer to the semi, where after a further eight sections the field will be whittled down to a five-rider final.
It will then be all down to nerves, as they all have the skill, with the top five tackling just four spectacular hazards.
The Y&G faithful have given this their all and it will be a great day's sport, so make sure you get there early.
There will be refreshments and toilets and all the sections are only a short walk apart.
Adult entry is fantastic value at just £5.
