Dream debut on TRS

He did well, very well

I think the public really backed him, nothing personal about Bou its just good to see someone else win and a different bike win

Perfect debut for TRS, I think with this result there will be more initial sales for the mark.

Agreed! Its the circle of champions life isn't it..... you spend years climbing to the top. When you get there and in Bou's case winning almost everything in sight, people start to get bored with the predictability of it. This last years outdoor season was the most exciting in years, because Raga won some good rides and made it interesting.

 

Hats of to Raga, and the whole TRS team they seem to be clicking for sure. He seems to be in sync with the new bike. No doubt Bou is going to be motivated for the rest of the X Trial series... which means fun for us!

Raga seems to have been practicing a huge amount on the TRS riding just really technical stuff..... What isn't technical these days ?.

Contrary to what's been said already Ragas bike has been tuned to his liking and improved but it's not had huge moneyspent on it like Bou's Honda which is of course uber special .Raga's bike is a prototype and things will be different from the standard bike , when it arrives..... but not by as much as you might think. The team hasn't had the time and is sensible with money. Sure , it has trick suspension from his GG..... now that was a special bike , but the chassis is standard. The engine is a test bed for the production model

An amazing result. I've seen the effort and this is just one of those few moments of happiness and satisfaction . Well done. .. Long may it continue

The difference was Jordi Tarres. He has re-invigorated Raga by working him hard and getting his confidence up. Well done to all concerned and it shows it doesn't need mega-bucks to be successful. There is much more to it than that

For me, it was by far the most entertaining Sheffield for years.

Raga had a great ride & as many others say a brilliant debut on the TRS.....very well done, amazing that a development bike can do that.

James looked strong early on but was outclassed.

So good to see & hear Martin Crosswaite doing the commentary again. He is totally on the action & does a brilliant job. A legend himself & a great character.

Have noticed more & more empty seats over the last few years. It deserved to be a sell out last night.

It seems to me that if it's an "easy" trial (single digits), advantage Raga, regardless of what he is riding. If it's tough, especially outdoors, Bou by a good margin.

Unless its slippery and muddy and Bou is losing fives then its raga. Ive never actually seen Bou push through for a 3.

I think raga already uped its game his last rides on the GG. The kick in the nuts probably made him work even harder.

Yep. .. and he's back with his trials Pop

Me either, until I found on Youtube the last Spanish championship trial for 2015. Check it out Dabster!

Well done Adam Raga a great result on the TRS.

Do they ride through any mud in the outdoor championship?

Take them both to Butser Lime Works at the moment, when it's wet

That'll sort 'em out

Belgium is on the map again! So probably yes.

 

 

They still win though
