Graham Jarvis at the hands of his Sherco 2.9 PXC has revealed itself as a serious candidate for the world title, with a fantastic win on the Sunday race and a second place in Saturday.

The winners of the event were the same as the last race held in Germany, Fujinami and Jarvis, and actual World Champion Dougie Lampkin could only be third in both races and quite far from the top mans. The race was again in very wet conditions as is normal in this period because is the heaviest rain season in Japan, being Saturday a very hard trial for all the competitors.

To mention that either Gas Gas and Beta teams did not participate in the event officially as a protest against Spanish Federation ban happened at the begin of season.

Next race will be in the high mountains of Andorra the 21 and 22 of June.
