Gas Gas rider Adam Raga came from being behind on the first lap today to record his second win of the weekend at the Japanese Grand Prix held at Twin Ring, Motegi.
Back to back wins for Raga at the second round of the 2014 FIM Trial World Championship sees the Spanish rider move within a single point of series leader Toni Bou, who
had to be content with the runners-up spot for the second day in a row. The injured Repsol Honda rider led Raga by four marks after today‰Ûªs initial tour, but his performance faded as his pain killing injection wore off.
"I knew that it would be tough today, but I really suffered. My ribs gave me a lot of trouble all day in spite of pain-killers," Bou said.
"At the beginning of the second lap the effects had practically worn off, and the hold-up affected me a lot, and it was hard to pick up the pace again. I was completely without strength by the end of the race.
Taking all of this into consideration, the result is an excellent one, as I never expected to get onto the podium".
