AFTER SIX gruelling rounds of the world indoor trials championship, Adam Raga is clearly stamping his authority on the series while the two battling Brits are experiencing mixed fortunes.Graham Jarvis just keeps getting better indoors. After qualifying for his first Sheffield final he also qualified in Koblenz - finishing fourth - then just missed the cut in Marseilles and Barcelona. Grimbo currently sits in sixth in the series but on his current form fourth place is well within reach for the Sherco rider.Meanwhile, Dougie Lampkin's luck has been up and down like a yo-yo. He failed to qualify for the final in Koblenz before a return to form at round five in France where he dipped out in the final by a single mark.But it was a clearly off-form Dougie who missed the cut in Barcelona at round six where five maximums meant he was never in a with a shot of making the three-man final.Raga was on fire in front of his home crowd and he killed the competition in both the qualifying lap and in the final itself, winning by a massive 21 marks.With six rounds left to go anything can happen but it's going to take something very special to stop Raga's win streak.
