Career

Junior career

Mein started out his career with the amateur cycling teams Hetton Hawks CC and Derwentside CC. One of Mein's major races was the Koppenbergcross 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.

Tarteletto–Isorex

In 2018, Mein joined the Belgian cyclo-cross team. After doing so, 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.
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.
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.
