Conrad Mewse’s perfect 2025 British MX1 championship season continued for the Crendon Tru7 Honda team as he dominated both motos to clinch the overall victory in Sunday’s event at Blaxhall in Suffolk. Mewse set the fastest lap in qualifying and also in both races to win by massive margins despite riding with a niggling wrist injury.
All eyes were on Mewse in the MX1 opener as he got a good start, moving into second place behind former British champions Adam Sterry. Mewse took control on the second lap and was in a class of his own as he stretched his winning margin to 42 seconds, with a fastest lap almost four seconds faster than anyone else.

In the second moto, Mewse tailed Frenchman Matheo Miot around the first corner but two corners later the Honda man struck and took the lead. In a stunning display of riding on a track that was getting rougher, Mewse once again pulled away on every lap and won by 29 seconds from Sterry and Purdon.
Mewse said: “Another number one trophy so I’m very happy. It was a perfect day, starting fastest in qualifying, a great ride to win moto win and an amazing start on the bike again helped me get away in moto two.
“Once I’m in the race and the adrenaline kicks in, I don’t get too much pain from my wrist, which is good. So I just try and play about with the track to make it a bit less physical and that was exactly what I was doing.
“The Crendon Tru7 Honda was great, the team have been amazing and it was just a faultless day really. We’ve been building back up the last couple of weeks trying to get back to 100%, back to full bike fitness and get my speed back up and we’re getting there. We’re not quite there yet, but we’re making steps. I’ve got a few more weeks now to put the hammer down, get some good work done and come back ready for the next one.”
Team manager Ryan Thorpe said: “It’s been an incredible day for all the riders who really did fantastically well on a really rough track. Of course, Conrad was simply in a class of his own and did exactly what he had to do. A true professional.
Unfortunately, Conrad’s injury means he will not be making an appearance at the MXGP of Great Britain this weekend or making his planned trip to Race selected Rounds of the Pro Motocross Championship in America, although he is looking to race some GPs later in the year.
On his social media, he said about his future plans, “On another note, absolutely gutted to announce I will not be racing my Home GP next weekend or making the trip to America this year. Unfortunately I’m not up to speed or fitness due to not having rode with my wrist injury so we’ve made the decision as a team to postpone until next year. Sorry to let everyone down but it’s unfair on me and the team to make the trip over there whilst only being 70%. My plan is to work towards MXGP of Lommel and Arnhem👊🏼”
