Just a week after being announced as the new MX1 rider for the Buildbase Honda team, Jake Nicholls is already out on the CRF450 testing for next year’s British championship. It’s not a full-race bike but a stock 2017 CRF with a pipe and spring forks while his 2018 machines are being prepared.

Nicholls, now in the team’s Fox kit, rode at a wet Blythburgh and MotoHead were there. Look out for a full video interview soon in MotoHead magazine.
