While she had hit the practice jousting area before this match, this is the first real match against an opponent. So Dia has a slight advantage.
Harley raises her own lance in a salute. Waits for the flags to mark the start, and roars the motorbike towards her opponent. There are so many factors to consider. The speed of her bike. The speed of Dia's speeder bike. Trying to calculate where to aim to hit her mark. And trying to calculate when Dia might make her attack.
All in all... there is just a little too much calculating for Harley to wrap her brain around in the first round. She gets hit by Dia's lance, and completely misses any opportunity to gain a hit of her own. And she has to steady her bike, reacting to the way the joust almost knocked her off.
The first point of their match goes to Dia. But Harley is still all smiles, getting back on her bike ready for the next round.
