A Pro Lites podium for Brenden Harrison in the Moree round of the MX Nationals has him in the prime position to take out a top three result in the 2011 series.

Harrison’s performance for JDR Motorex KTM was an impressive one, fighting the effects of the flu and still placing on the podium in third place overall with 4-3-4-6 finishes at Moree.

With his podium, Harrison is now placed third in the standings.

“The Racesafe medical team helped me out so much this weekend – I’ve been really sick, so it feels good to finish on the podium and I have to thank the medical guys a lot,” Harrison said.

“My team was right behind me again so thanks to the whole JDR Motorex KTM team as well.

“We’ll try to finish the year strong at Coolum.”

Harrison has been consistently quick this year, now maintaining third in the series ahead of Monster Kawasaki’s American import Phil Nicoletti by just one point.
