This weekend, the Japanese Grand Prix takes place at the Twin Ring Motegi circuit, owned by Honda. Today, Friday, the qualifying zone was played with somewhat adverse weather conditions, where Adam Raga felt especially comfortable and scored the best time.
Rain overnight and Q1 complicated this qualifying area, as the mud on the slope left the stones very slippery. In Q2, with better weather, the best TrialGP time was set by James Dabill, but he left two points in the zone. Adam Raga rode intelligently and, despite adding a second more than the Briton, he completed the zone without penalty and scored a very important pole position that ensures him the best starting position in the race.
After Raga, Dabill will start and then Toni Bou, who despite a bad Q2, where he scored a fiasco, his good time in the first pass through the area ensured him a good starting position. Regarding the rest of the favorites, Fajardo was sixth and Busto eleventh.
Defending Trial2 title holder Matteo Grattarola signed a good Q1 with a 0:25.62, beating Sondre Haga, who led after Q1 with a time of 0:25.87. Spanish rider Aniol Gelabert was third with a time of 0:25.91.
In Trial125 pole position for Kieran Touly, followed by Alex Canales and Pau Martínez.
Regarding TrialGP Women, first position for Hakonsen, followed by Bristow and Sandra Gómez.
