Coming off a sensational victory at the MXGP of Lommel, Red Bull KTM Factory rider Jeffrey Herlings will race next weekend’s Hawkstone Park round of the British motocross championship and is looking forward to getting his rivalry with Conrad Mewse heated up for the British fans.

Herlings and Mewse have had some great battles this season in the British championship and for Herlings to return to Hawkstone Park, it’s a highlight for the Lommel GP winner.

“Yes,” Herlings told MXlarge. “I will be racing next weekend at Hawkstone Park. I have really been enjoying racing with Conrad (Mewse). Obviously, this weekend, he was really good in time practice, but I think he struggled a bit in the races (14-17). He has been so good in England and its great practice racing him and I really respect him. I told him and I really like Conrad.

"He was on the junior program at KTM when I was already a factory rider. He has so much potential, and I feel like when he is in England, he uses that potential. I have always been good with him, and I take it as good practice. I really love Hawkstone and my English sponsor, Dirt Store really like me racing there. Hopefully I do well, and a lot of British fans come out to watch us.”

So, if you want to get a chance to see the fastest man on the planet at the moment, then get to Hawkstone Park for the British championship, fastest 40 double header. A big day for the British motocross fans.
