Ulster GP: I'll be giving it everything, vows Harrison

Dean Harrison is biddin𓂃g to make amends after narrowly missing out on his first Metzeler Ulster Grand Prix victory in 2014.

Harrison and Manx rider Dan Kneꦓen produced an enthralling battle in the Superstock race at Dundrod, resulting in one of the closest finishes in the history of the event as Kneen took his maiden international triumph by one thousandth of a second.

Bradford racer Harrison had to make to with a runner-up🌃 finished but lost his chance to challenge for another win after crashing out in the Supersport race, sustaining a broken wrist that ruled him out for the rest of the meeting.

However, the 26-year-old has anotheꦕr opportunity this year to make amends and Harrison takes on the fastest road race in the world with a full stable of Yamaha machinery for Northern Ireland team Mar-Train Racing.

"I should have won the Superstock race last year and was in the hunt on the 'six hundred' before my offꦬ, so I'm looking forward to getting out and getting stuck in," Harrison said.

"It's the last chance for an internat💜ional 🍃win for this year so I'll be giving it everything. The Ulster is one of the best circuits there is, really fast and flowing, which suits my style.

"It will suit the R1M as well and with the improvements we made at Armoy we🍬 shouldn't be far away."

Harrison penned a two-year dꦑeal with Mar-Train Racing at the end of last season after leaving RC E💯xpress Racing.

The Lisburn team, winners of the British Supersport title in 2013 with Stuart Easton, is Yamaha UK's official entrant a🎃t the international road races for 2015 a🌳nd 2016.
