Conrad Mewse continues his flawless British MX1 championship run with two stunning moto wins at Blaxhall – all while riding with a niggling wrist injury.
The Honda star was untouchable in Suffolk, setting the fastest laps in both races and winning by huge margins – 42 seconds in moto one and 29 seconds in moto two. That’s domination.
Josh Gilbert looks odds-on for a podium after a runner-up spot in race one but a DNF in moto two due to a broken chain ruined his day.
South African Tristan Purdon took his Husky to second overall from KTM’s Adam Sterry who was second in race two with Kaweasaki’s Taylor Hammal fourth
Honda’s Jamie Carpenter pulled off the comeback of the season following a solid fourth in race one. After crashing hard on lap one of moto two and suffering serious damage to his bike – including a bent brake and gear lever – he managed to race the entire moto in 4th gear using his left hand to shift. He carved through the pack from dead last to an incredible 6th place, earning him 5th overall on the day and keeping him 4th in the series standings.
Mewse now heads into the next round at Preston Docks still unbeaten and looking to extend his lead. But at that round he’ll face five-times world champ Jeffrey Herlings having his first British championship ride of the season. Last year Mewse beat Herlings at the track, but this time will it be a different story?
