>> If you could summarize the phrase of hard-charging in the dictionary, it would equate with a picture of a number 91 Suzuki, zooming in on the style of Jeremy Seewer. He presents a picture-perfect tenacity, always urging and looking to push to the front, no matter what circumstances are placed in front of him. Fighting through the field in moto one, his laptimes were extremely steady, but mistakes cost him a podium positioned he yearned for. Jumping into each, and every flat piece of real estate he could find, his stylish Shoei helmet always reached forward to the next competitor. Catch- ing up to the rear wheel of rookie Justin Cooper, he almost had the number 191 at one point, but wouldn’t be able to muster the strength to pass. He would finish ninth. Moto number two, saw Seewer in an all too familiar place of back-marking, hovering near the latter portion of the top ten for sometime. Fighting through every inside-outside combination he could, his lines through the respective chicanes were that of a surfer or snowboarder, the way his dots were connected through a series of arcs. Never letting off the gas, he would rally as his competitors began to gas for a certain breath of air, including the Husqvarna pilot of Thomas Covington. The lines were beginning to develop in abundance, as the man-made two ways of berms were beginning to be blown out, and mesh as one giant corner. It honestly wasn’t mattering to him, rather the surface was of some the toughest, or he was riding a smooth line that no one encountered, his memo was still that of pushing forward. Moving into third by moto’s end, he would reside here, good enough for fourth overall on the day.
