With each respective mechanic stepping away from the line, heads dropping in unison, the thirty second girl
began to strut away, and it was time for business. Harrison’s small stature really allowed his Yamaha to dig into mother earth, and with the throttle twisted to the max, he came away second amongst the pack up horsepower hill. Battling with the likes of Savatgy, and teammate Jeremy Martin, he showed little to no weaknesses in the opening moments; however, the remarkable speed began to fade as the laps progressed, almost as if the heart rate sent a spike of adrenaline through his veins, and would have to subside at some point. Being constantly pestered, he couldn’t seem to catch his breath, as each lap brought another assassin at his bay. Slash- ing with all of his might, he would try his best to anchor and stay put in his respective position. Unfortunately the pressure would never subside, and he would drop to 14th by moto’s end. Mitchell shook the crystal ball to see the future, but unfortunately wished he could turn back time, as the number 289 sat just inside the top twenty for the opening festivities of moto two. After battling amongst some of the best in the world, Harrison once again was receiving his freshman initiation; never counting the chickens before they’ve hatched, and before he knew it, he was sitting outside of the top thirty and disgusted with agony. The end result would be a 20th overall, but with the glimmer of speed he showed, it may be just what he needs in order to build into the future.
