VMXDN Foxhill has announced that last year’s Team GB hero, Mel Pocock, will miss the 2024 event due to a wrist injury he suffered earlier in the year.

Pocock was a true hero for the title-winning Team GB crew last year after racing through the pain barrier to deliver some fantastic results alongside teammates Tommy Searle and Brad Anderson on their way to the title.
A replacement is expected within the next 2024 hours, and based on the calibre of riders lining up across the board this year, we are sure it will be a big one.
The full statement from VMXDN Foxhill is below:
“We are saddened to announce that Mel Pocock has withdrawn from competing at VMXdN Foxhill 2024 due to his wrist injury taking longer to recover.
“Mel was part of the winning team in 2023 and is due to line up again for Team GB in 2024. He will still be at the event, as will the Pocock family, as Mel’s 3 brothers take to the line. No doubt, he will be throwing his support behind Team GB and winding Tommy up across the weekend.
“We wish Mel all the best with his recovery and hope to see him race fit soon.
“News of Team GB’s replacement rider will be announced in the next 24 hours.”
