Adam Raga maintained this afternoon his unstoppable
way at Indoor Series by winning in Barcelona. It was his fifth
victory in a row of the season and the fourth he has clinched
successively at home. After an exciting and hot battle that was
resolved at the end of the trial, Albert Cabestany finished second.
The nice surprise of the round, Jeroni Fajardo, obtained a podium
place in his debut in Barcelona.
Albert Cabestany and Adam Raga became the first riders in
attempting the sections due to the starting order. Two maximum
favourites for the victory achieved a great success in a tough and
difficult circuit, with big jumps and steps, very representative
elements in Barcelona.
Albert Cabestany didn’t have any problem despite starting the
first one because the wild card didn’t finally come to Barcelona’s
Indoor Trial. Moreover, Sherco’s rider made a very good
performance, riding his motorbike very comfortably having into
account that he hadn’t performed very well in the last Barcelona’s
trials. With only one five, Cabestany did his best in order to be
in the final round. Raga also did it very well, trying to continue
his dominance in the World Series. Gas Gas’ rider obtained a zero
in all the sections of the circuit, excepting in the second hazard,
where he got a five, the same one in which Cabestany also made a
five just some minutes before.
Jeroni Fajardo was the surprise in the classification round. Gas
Gas’ rider made his debut in Barcelona in a brilliant way. He was
able to keep calm after his excellent starting and defended the
best result until the penultimate observed hazard. He would
finally obtain the same result as Cabestany, but as he had done a
better timing completing the circuit then he could start the final
round after Sherco’s rider.
None of the Montesa-HRC pilots did it very well today. Dougie
Lampkin failed when attempting the impressive hazard circuit. The
Briton could perform in an acceptable term the most technical
sections but it was impossible for him to success in the sections
where more power of the machines was required. The most affected
was, with any doubt, Fujinami. The Japanese rider started the
trial with two fives in a row, an awful beginning which made him
lose concentration through the circuit and it really affected his
performance till the end of the first round. Fujigas, who got
really angry, would finish with the worst penalty card, 21 points.
Freixa had some advantage because he was the last rider to start
the circuit but he had to complete the circuit in a brilliant way
to be in the classification round. The advantage Montesa’s rider
had wasn’t useful and he had a very weak starting and obtained
seven points in the first two sections. Then, he would get
penalties in every section, till the Spaniard reach the fifth
final place in standings.
The exciting final became the strongest and toughest of the
Championship. 15 sections complete the circuit for the final, the
most difficult exam for the riders in the season.
Cabestany took the leadership after the first section, when the
Gas Gas riders failed in big steps. The Sherco rider maintained
the first place till the fourth round, when Cabestany was equalled
by his rivals. The two double lane races didn’t break the balance
among the participants but it offered fantastic head to head.
Nerves and excitement were increasing in the final, with three
riders very hungry to attempt the important conquest at home.
Cabestany and Raga alternated the first position because of their
failures, while Fajardo lost power in the second half of the
circuit. Raga took advantage of a polemic five in which judges
condemned Cabestany in the penultimate observed section and
administrated the advantage to achieve again the win.
Indoor World Series land in Russia this coming week. Next Saturday
on February 12th, Peterburgsky Sports Complex is going to hold the
sixth round in the calendar
