Career

[edit | edit source]

Junior career

[edit | edit source]

Mein started out his career with the amateur cycling teams Hetton Hawks CC[4] and Derwentside CC.[5] One of Mein's major races was the Koppenbergcross[6] of November 2016, when Mein was only seventeen-years old; Mein was up against a pack of experienced Belgian and Dutch riders, and compatriot Tom Pidcock. Due to these factors, Mein was considered the underdog, and not expected to have a podium finish. However, Mein rode a smart race, and finished in first position.[7]

Tarteletto–Isorex

[edit | edit source]

In 2018, Mein joined the Belgian cyclo-cross team Tarteletto–Isorex. Mein's career turned professional and as he began to rise to the podium more and more, Mein had his eyes set on the 2019 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup which he had missed out on first-place during November 2018.[8]

In November 2019, Mein claimed his first win at a UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup race in Tábor, Czech Republic. Mein timed his attack perfectly with an eleven-second lead over Swiss rider Kevin Kuhn. To add on to Mein's accomplishments, throughout this season and previous seasons Mein has generally finished within the top-twenty echelon of racers.[9]

Mein has also claimed several other podium finishes throughout previous seasons, including the National Trophy Series in Derby, the British National Cyclo-cross Championships at Cyclopark in Gravesend, and the DVV Trofee in Niel, Belgium.[10]

Tormans CX Team and Canyon DHB

[edit | edit source]

On 28 January 2020, Mein announced on social media that he would be joining Tormans XC Team in cyclo-cross.[11][12] On 5 March 2020, Mein joined British UCI Continental team Canyon dhb p/b Soreen for the 2020 road season.[13] Due to winning the UEC European Under-23 Championships in 2020, Mein therefore won the first international medal for Tormans CX Team. On 5 September 2021, Mein embarked on his first Tour of Britain with Canyon dhb SunGod. His best result was eleventh position at the finish of Stage 7.

Hope Factory Racing

[edit | edit source]

As of 14 April 2022, Mein will be riding for the British cyclo-cross team Hope Factory Racing.
