Conrad Mewse has announced he has quit the Hitachi KTM team and so far seems to be without a ride. The British MX2 champ revealed the news on social media today, but there has been no official confirmation from KTM or the Hitachi team.

Mewse was supposed to ride alongside new team signing Isak Gifting in the British and World MX2 championships this year.

He said: “It is with regret I have to announce my departure from the Hitachi KTM fuelled by Milwaukee race team. I have informed the team principal of my decision to leave the team with immediate effect.

“I have proudly enjoyed winning 2 British MX2 titles for the team along with a podium result for Team Great Britain at the MXON and many other race wins. I would like to thank KTM, my loyal sponsors, supporters, fans, family and friends for their continued support. Although my plans are not yet in place for the new season, I can assure everyone that I hope to be lining up on the start line and seeing you all in the season ahead.”
