TEAM NEWS: Mel Pocock to stand in for Dylan Walsh

Dylan broke his tibia at the recent Seattle Supercross and has had surgery to fix a rod into the leg. Mel was drafted into the team by good friend Tommy Searle for the Arenacross Tour at the start of the year, and enjoyed some great results as well as collecting more than his fair share of tuff blocks!
Mel worked with the Revo team back in 2018, when they ran Husqvarna machines and finished 2nd in the EMX series. His last full year in the British Championship was 2019, when he finished 5th in the MX1 Championship, after finishing 3rd with the Revo team in MX2 in 2018. He was runner-up in the MX2 class in both 2012, by only 5 points rom Elliott Banks-Browne, and in 2014 behind Matiss Karro. Still only 30 years old, Mel suffered a horrific hand injury in 2015 which has left him with a permanently shortened right thumb. Always happy to talk to us during the Arenacross Tour, we at MX Vice wish Mel and the team all the best in their new partnership for 2023.
