Launching the “SX” triple with flare like no other,
you could see him taking the left hand off the bar,
adjusting his helmet in laid-back fashion. It was an act seen by Tyler Bowers who was behind, and he too could feel the collectiveness that was being displayed. That reassurance would reflect on the pit board, with the mechanic relaying signals of motivation. The rallying effort would be in full display, pushing with all of his will power to the finish line. The checkered flag would put him in a fifth position. It was all he could do to hold strong for the first lap of the 450 main, with the likes of the best in the world around him. Blitzing both whoop sections to the fullest extent, it was a matter of twisting the throttle as hard as he could. Staying in attack position all the way around the Oakland circuit, he wanted to break the mental barrier that Dean Wilson was trying to create,
just in front. And it was with every showing of the wheel, or stabbing of the rear tire, that the wall would begin to crumble. Eventually, the blockade would be turned to rubble, and he would make his way around. Letting all behind eat the soil that had been chewed and sprayed by the rear tire, he saw the clock strike zero, indicating just a few short laps to go. And the seventh place position he was holding onto ever so tightly, would finally be his for the taking.
