When the 2022 Hertz FIM Trial World Championship gets under way this season there will be no-one better prepared for it than Adam Raga ( TRRS ).
The legendary Spanish rider , TrialGP champion in 2005 and 2006 and runner-up every year since , has so far been forced to wait 15 long years to complete his hat-trick of world titles but he has never given up and always brings his ‘ A ’ game whenever and wherever he rides .
‘ Never say never ’ is a time-worn cliché but it perfectly sums up the mindset of the 39-year-old from Tarragona who every year pushes his compatriot Toni Bou to the absolute limit on the world stage . The mutual respect the pair share is well documented – record-breaking champion Bou openly credits Adam as making him the rider he is today – and between them both they have dominated the sport for almost two decades .
