Former AMA 125cc National Champion Mike Brown will contest the 𒉰MX2 World and British Motocross Championships in 2005 as part of the RWJ Honda team.

Brown, who ended negotiations with the rival CAS Honda team last week, has confirmed his place in the RWJ line-up and will be a high profile addition to the 2005 MX2 Grand Prix and British domestic campaigns riding a🏅 CR250F with technical♉ help from the revered Pro Circuit set-up in the US.

Brown last competed in the World Championship back in 2000 wꦇhere finished third overall in the 125cc class and scored three GP victories. He was 125cc British Champion the same year. In 2001 he won the 125cc AMA National title.

"Of course we are very pleased to have Mike on the team," commented RWJ Honda manager Colin Reed. "A rider with his experience and ability with a combination of ꦯstrong back-up from ourselves means that we can look forward to some good results next season.

"Everybody needs a bit of luck in this game but I think we have a very good possibility. I first met Mike when he came to ride 250cc Yamahas for Rinaldi. Over the years we built 🍌up an acquaintance and mutual respect; I'm now looking forward to working with him," he added.

RWJ Honda is also hoping to secure the servicesꦫ of another formeไr GP winner before the end of the week.
