Day One

Adam Raga extended his lead at the top of the championship after taking victory on day one in Gefrees, Germany.

Montesa-HRC riders, Marc Freixa and Dougie Lampkin made up the rest of the podium with Takahisa Fujinami having a disaster finishing back in 8th position.

Lap 1 saw Marc freixa take an early lead ahead of Raga, 4 points in the clear, however a brilliant second lap score of just 15 for Raga was good enough to edge him into the lead after lap 2. Marc Freixa has to settle for second position just 1 mark behind Raga and missing out on his first win on the 4RT by the smallest of margins.

Dougie Lampkin took third position on 51 marks, well off the pace of the leading two. Youngster, Jeroni Fajardo was just a few marks off Lampkin in fourth position.

Britain’s James Dabill deserves a worthy mention in his first ever World Trials Championship ride.

Beating fellow Brit, Sam Connor.
