A new recruit to KTM will complement the factory JDR Motorex KTM Racing Team for round six of the Australian Motocross Championship at Albury this weekend, with Queenslander Brenden Harrison returning to KTM under a satellite support banner with MX Rad, KTM Australia, and Shift, who will all be endorsing his ride for the rest of the MX season, and into the Supercross season for 2010.
Harrison is not new to KTM as he dominated many Australian Junior Championships in his youth before taking a 12 month break from racing in 2007. A year later he returned to the racing scene securing himself a ride with Serco where he claimed the Under 19s title.
Now at 20 years of age Harrison‰Ûªs new satellite ride will see him enter the Pro Lites class of the Australian Motocross Championship, riding the KTM 250 SX-F, alongside JDR Motorex KTM Racer, and red plate holder PJ Larsen who has recently returned from a short visit to his homeland in the USA, where he attended the official North American launch of the KTM SX-F motocross range.
Commenting on Harrison‰Ûªs recruitment, JDR Motorex KTM Racing Team Manager, Jay Rynenberg said, ‰ÛÏWe were approached by Brenden a few months back to consider supporting his ride in a satellite environment, and it really was a no brainer for us, as he has so much talent, and he presents himself as a dedicated and professional individual both on and off the race track, which is important to sponsors in addition to winning races.
‰ÛÏJDR, MX Rad, KTM Australia and Shift are all chipping in to support this satellite ride for Brenden, where he is provided with a mechanic, race bike and practice bike, he will also pit alongside JDR Motorex KTM Racing with his own quick shade area as our satellite rider.
‰ÛÏWe have already begun testing with Harrison, and I‰Ûªm really impressed with his speed, he is handling the bike with ease and demonstrating great speed. I‰Ûªm sure he will continue to improve and impress as a competitor with this support, and we look forward to helping him achieve his goals.‰Û
