Shirty Says  Adam Raga (GAS GAS) has just won the Italian Round of the World Trials Championship at Barzio, a fantastic venue in Adam was best on both laps, and even having 8 marks on time could not spoil his chance of winning. This solid win for Adam has helped his World Title chances because Toni Bou could only manage third being beaten by his 'back to form' Team mate Fujigas who finished a deserved 2nd. JAMES DABILL (JST GG) finished 7th. Because Dibs started well and cleaned the first four sections confidently and easily. He pioneered the lines for his rivals but had no choice, we had to get cracking. He fived section 5 where he veered off line which was easily done (cleaned it with ease on lap 2). Scrappy on 6 for a three and then a race to section 7 which resulted in another five on the steep, grassy hill side. The next four sections were hard,very hard up a dry, but still slippy, rock strewn gully that again Dibs had to ride first, showing everyone else the lines. He fived 8 and then learned of a really sneeky (cheat) line that made the end possible. He then fived 9 on the last big step which was soooo close. (good catch Jack!) He was very good on the long section 10 which a mature 'three'. He fived 11 which to be honest was 'fair enough' because we could not see a possible line and with time ticking Dibs made an unconfident attempt because we really needed to see someone ride it first. We then raced to section 12 where he was again good for a three. A 'cross country special test' was next (which was ace) racing back to the paddock for the last three sections. We timed it well because Dibs had 15 minutes to do these last 3 sections. He calmed himself down and was awesome on 13 ffor a clean but was cruely timed out by one second for a cruel 5 ! No time to moan and onto 14 which he was MEGA for a three. Dibs finished the lap with a fantastic clean on 15 (which he didnt even look at!) to finish just 20 seconds to spare on 43 marks in 8th place. Dibs needed a special comeback and with no excuses of riding first we cracked on. He started the lap well again and went on a 'Dibsroll'. We got to 9 on only five marks which was well on the pace. He was VERY frustrated to five the last big step on section 9 but bounced back well with another three on 10. HE WAS AWESOME ON 11 for a one dab ride which got me well pumped! A quick blast to 12 which he cleaned with ease (bou fived this twice) then back to the paddock area for the last 3 sections which Dibs was determined to do. We had loads of time for these last three sections so time to compose and concentrate. To cut along story short Dibs fived all three sections which was BAD. He failed the big step on 13 (rubbish) and fived the middle part of 14 which was bloody hard so fair enough. To finish with a 'soft five' on the last was annoying so a fantastic comeback was spolit by fiving the last three sections ;( Nevertheless DIBS MUST WORK HARD to have any chance of catching Jeroni in 6th in the Championship race who is 10 points in front with 3 rounds to go...game on! Ross Danby (JSTGG) was 11th in the Junior WTC Class and is now 7th in the Championship. Jonny Walker (Wren GG) was 9th in the Youth WTC Class and is now 8th in the Championship. Thanks to Jack who was superb and to Factory Congrats to... ADAM RAGA / GAS GAS ! Carles Traviesa / GAS GAS Other JSTGG news... Back home SAM HASLAM and DAN THORPE made it a GG 'one-two' at the always popular WAINWRIGHT National. Sam won on 18 with DT second on 22. I believe Sam was awesome on section 10 with a one and a clean which helped him win the day. WELL DONE to both ;) Thanks for pic Barry..
