Oh stop. Stop it now!! 😂😂😂
"guarantee" 😂
Hunter, Jett, Chase, Eli, Jorge. You're putting him amongst those? Plus Webb, Justin Cooper, Jason Anderson...... You're winding us up. Calm down, have a Snickers or something.
Let's be honest, the quality in the UK is probably the lowest it's be ever been. Conrad is no doubt a very very good rider and I would expect him to go unbeaten this season.
I was just about to say this, there is no talent in the MX1 class of the British Championship. Mewse is head and shoulders above everyone else unless Herlings shows up.
Mewse has had multiple chances on the international stage & he has fallen short every single time.

If Mewse rides to his potential he should at be amongst the Webb, Cooper, Ando pack.
You obviously don't know what you're talking about...
If he rides like he did at the nations he could be hovering around the top 5 , he’s so hard to predict though that’s why he doesn’t have a go ride , wouldn’t be shocked if he was 5th and I wouldn’t be shocked if he was 12th
He came from back of the pack at the MXoN and passed AP7 in the first Open race. He's beaten Herlings, and Herlings himself said he has elite speed. But it's a mystery because as others have pointed out, he's not shown that speed in the GP's.
I sure am glad he's coming though because the more the better.
People telling me I'm delusional and don't know what I'm talking about. Literally do some research and everything we have just said is right there to see. Mewse IF he brings his UK speed can be top 5. If Herlings has said this, I don't know why any of you think you know more than Herlings lol.
I'm confused. I said that he was fast and that Herlings said he has elite level speed.
Sorry, that was miscommunication on my part. I was fully agreeing with you and pointing out that other people are saying these things. Conrad Mewse is faster than Plessinger and on a good day is easily top 5 in the AMA series.
Watched Hawkstone (and Montevarchi, Italy on split screens - the 'interweb' is a wonderous thing at times ) .
Mewse got a crap start, but worked towards the front in the 2nd Moto, winning by around 21 /22 seconds, to get the overall from Sterry. 1:1.
They used the Full Big Hill, it appears, but went to the Right at the top - I'm that old I always think of it going just a tad further, and going to the left, to then go down the 'Enduro' section.........
You can’t say he could easily do it, because he’s proven time and time again he can’t. Maybe if they bring a U.S. national to blaxall or fatcat he can. He has the speed to do it sure, but to say he could easily be there…until he proves it, no.
Its been like this for ages, really good to get the drone up there for the last moto's.
'Would you like a receipt Sir '?
Conrad was hurt as well.
That's a very fair point. It's annoying because he does have the speed, just for some reason can't bring it out of the UK. Hopefully this is the time he can prove everyone wrong.
Pit Row
Conrad has not got it !
Yes, having the Camera / Drone /up there was great - wish they would have shown more of that ' to the right' cross over and down route.
I think I've seen races there that have gone far less up The Hill, for a few years now. Do they have different routes across to the right at times ?
I was getting seriously cross eyed watching Hawkstone and Montevarchi at the same time!
I think my Bear Brain has the 'Enduro Downhill' section implanted into being at Hawkstone, but, I 'memberberry' now that it was at Farleigh Castle.
This is DT at the top in 86(?) - I'm sure I've better pictures of the full, relatively short section they all 'plonked' down , then turned right.

What a great photo; must've been practice with the greenery still there.
I caught some of the livestream and they did a great job. Looks like the British Champs reset could be promising.
Two things struck me though; 1) the depth of talent is pretty shockingly low in the two main series. The guys running at the front of the races are streets ahead of the rest, but those same guys are nowhere at International level (Conrad aside). I'm not trying to bash the riders, I'm just saying it as it looks.
2) Conrad right now is the only rider we have that could possibly cut it on the world stage, and it's been a huge waste that he's stayed in the UK for so long. He's so much faster than the other guys that it's completely pointless him being there. I really hope he can get that "overseas" monkey off his back and show the same speed at some GP's and AMA rounds.
Conrad is amazing in the British series, but unfortunately doesn't have the minerals to perform on the big stage. He has had plenty of opportunities to do so but he just can't seem to do it. Mental block.
Yep, I was there.
Yes , that is the Farleigh Steps, a lot easier now, i can double up them on a 38 year old 125, and i am 59.
There have been various iterations of the hill, and if they do go off to the side ,its usually because of weather, you have to do the grading from the top down, and if its wet it simply isnt safe to do it. If it isnt done, it can go down to bare rock, and that isnt fun .
The drone guys were great , they were exploring all day, and finally got over to the drop down side in the last races, there are all sorts of legal issues with drones currently, so they could only go where it was deemed 'safe' but hopefully for round 2 we will get more from them, i will be honest , from my personal point of view, having them static providing a different Lap on Lap view was a much better thing to commentate on, rather than flying around chasing riders.
Considering MXGB-TV was an all new set up , i was pleased with how it went. If you ever wondered what i looked like, now you know, i was old guy with the beard LOL.
Buzz around the pits was noticeable on the saturday, the ability for riders to easily do a couple of rounds will help with numbers, and while the entry was decent, there were a few guys in both classes out injured who would have strengthened the field a bit.
But yes , Conrad is the best we have, but i dont think he will walk it , Adam Sterry will keep at it, as will Josh Gilbert, they are all doing GP's so we will see what happens.
MX2 is the class that has the potential for upsets, i reckon there are 5 or 6 guys fast enough to win on any given day.
The last time I see Mewse ride to his potential was the 1st round of the EMX 250 championship in 2016 in Holland, he dominated that day and went 1-1. The team must’ve decided he was too quick for that class so they moved him up & he struggled. The MX2 class in 2016 was stacked.
I wonder if he would ever be interested in coming stateside?
He had a broken foot in this race but okay.
