Valbondione, Italy, 9 July 2005.
The GAS GAS rider Adam Raga (GG TXT 300) has achieved a spectacular win on the first day of the Trial of Italy, the World Trial Championship’s tenth valid round.
This win reinforces his lead in the provisional championship standings.
In a complicated and rainy, 15-section trial– section 2 was cancelled on the second lap due to its difficulty – the GAS GAS School of Champions rider Adam Raga finished the first lap in the second place.
But the best was yet to come, with a brilliant performance by the Ulldecona rider on the second lap, adding just 5 points in contrast to his rivals’ scores, which were around fifteen points each.
His team partner Jeroni Fajardo, however, was not so fortunate in the Italian round, and only managed to come home in ninth.
In the Junior class, the semi-works GAS GAS rider Daniel Gibert achieved a fantastic third place in a trial won by Briton James Dabill, who was shouldered by Italian Francesco Iolitta on the rostrum. Gibert is holding the second place in the provisional class standings with 153 points, behind James Dabill with 197.
An outstanding Daniel Oliveras (GAS GAS 125) in the Youth Cup completed the GAS GAS success by adding yet another win to his tally. This was his eighth World Championship win, the sixth in a row, and it allows him to settle his clear and comfortable position at the top of the provisional rankings with 194 points.
The second day of the Italian round will take place tomorrow.
