Mel Pocock is another rider to go on Honda for 2020 as he is joining the MXR Redline team. He’ll contest the British championship and MX Nationals and will start his season at the Hawkstone International next month.

It’s a year of big brand switch-arounds as the MSR squad have swopped from Yamaha to Honda. And Pocock’s old team ASA have gone from KTM to Husqvarna.

Elliott Banks-Browne and Luke Burton of the Geartec team have also switched, from Husky to Honda for 2020.
