Crendon Tru7 Honda’s Conrad Mewse is to fulfil his lifelong dream of racing in the USA by contesting two AMA Nationals this season as well as three MXGP world championship rounds. It’s thanks to the Crendon Tru7 Honda team and sponsors helping the 25-year-old race at the very top level against the best riders in the world.

The main focus of Mewse and the team is to win the ACU British championship and the Nora Pro championships, where he will race alongside team-mate Jamie Carpenter on the all-new 2025 Honda CRF450R. Mewse also plans to contest Scottish championship rounds, a round of the Dutch Masters series plus two International races in France.

Former world junior champion Mewse will be helped in his Stateside journey with machinery support from Honda America. He will contest the sandy Southwick round in Massachusetts on June 28. A week later he will ride at Red Bud in Michigan, which is always a huge event as it coincides with the USA’s Fourth of July celebrations. With the Motocross of Nations at Ironman in Indiana on October 5, it means he may have a third race event in the USA this season if he is selected for Team GB.

For the world championship, he will race the British GP at Matterley Basin on June 22 then the deep sand circuits at Lommel in Belgium on August 3 and Arnhem in Holland on August 24.

Mewse, who already finished runner-up in the UK Arenacross series this year despite missing the opening round, said: “My total focus is on winning the British championship for myself and the team. I believe the best way to keep my intensity up and make sure I am the best I can be is to ride against the best riders in the world whenever I can, which is in the AMA Nationals and MXGP series.

“It’ll be a dream come true to race in the AMA series as I have never raced in the USA at all! Of course, these events are a long way off at the moment but if everything is going well with no problems, I’ll be there.”

Team owner, triple world 500 champion Dave Thorpe, said: “We want to do everything we can to give Conrad the best chance of winning the British championship and he believes this is the best way for him - and we fully support it.

“It’s been one of his lifetime goals to race against the best in America, and that’s why the Crendon Tru7 team, Honda, our technical partners and sponsors have come together to help make it all happen. Everyone is very excited for Conrad, and of course for the whole team as the UK championship season starts at the weekend.”

Mewse and Carpenter start their championships campaigns in the new Nora Pro series which kicks off at Oxford Moto Park on Sunday. The ACU British championship starts a week later at Hawkstone Park where Jake Nicholls will join them to race the new Honda CRF250R in the MX2 class.
