Raga & Gas Gas dominate Portugal
Japan, Motegi. May 22/23 2004.
Adam Raga took a strong third in Japan on day one, then slipped to fourth on the Sunday. As often happens in Japan, both practice and the event itself were held in wet conditions. Although Adam has shown that he can win in the wet, it's difficult against the English and Japanese riders, especially when the sections are of relatively low severity and Fujigas is on his home turf.
Jeroni Fajardo continued to amaze the Trials World with his strong results. Jeroni, at just 19 years of age, took 6th on Saturday, then an incredible 4th on Sunday, just 6 points off the winning score. His second loop score was only beaten by the great Dougie Lampkin.
In the junior class, Gas Gas continue to dominate, with young Mika Vesterinen (son of former World Champ Yrjo) leading the series ahead of fellow Gas Gas runner Isaac Pons.
