Hi Steemers,

So it's silly season and the teams are padding out the rosters and knuckling down to some work ahead of the 2019 Monster Energy Supercross kick off at Anahiem in January. Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing had an epic 2018 with Anderson pinning down his first premier class Supercross title and the first one for Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing. As you guys might already know Zach Osborne has joined him on the 450 roster and Dean Wilson has moved on and is currently going the privateer route in the hopes of picking up a factory ride after the start of the season.

One person though was absent when the team were carrying out promotional work ahead of the kick off race at Anaheim. Mitchell Harrison was missing from the teams preparations and news on why was being held close to the teams check, now it seems official confirmation has been released. Harrison will be leaving Husky and making a new home for himself aboard the Rockwell Racing Yamaha Racing YZF 250 R to contend in the 250SX West series.

"I am excited to contend the 2019 250SX West series with Rockwell Racing Yamaha. Rockwell Racing has assembled a solid, competitive program and I expect to achieve strong results with their support."

Currently this contract is only for the 2019 Monster Energy Supercross season and does not extend into the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross series. His team mate, Jon Ames, is also in the same place contract wise and is coming back from an injury plagued season last year.

"I'm really looking forward to the upcoming supercross season with a new team and a new bike. I have great people around me and a great bike underneath me, so I couldn't be happier right now."

Maybe the team are holding the cards close to their chests about extending the season into the outdoors to see what the riders can bring to the table this year. Either way, Harrison, who finished eighth overall last year with a top seven at five of the ten rounds raced looks pumped and ready to prove himself.
