IN THE WIND P36 GRANT TO TWO/TWO A lthough no official announcement has been made, it appears that former JGRMX/Yamaha Team rider Josh Grant will be making the move to Chad Reed's TwoTwo Motorsports Team for 2015. Grant was recently seen testing a Kawasaki KX450F with TwoTwo Mo- torsports graphics at Glen Helen Raceway. PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANDREW BUCHEN It appears that Josh Grant will be sporting the number 33 on the TwoTwo Motorsports Team. CANTRELL, TLD JOIN FORCES S ean Cantrell, one of the top up-and-coming riders in the amateur MX scene, has signed a multi-year deal with the Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil/Red Bull KTM team. The 14 year old is fresh off a Super Mini Cham- pionship at Loretta Lynn's and is looking forward to the move to the big bikes this fall. "Being a part of the Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil/Red Bull/ KTM Team is such an honor," Cantrell said. "They are an amazing group of guys and I'm blessed to be a part of an elite team. For them to pick up a rider fresh off of a Super Mini Champi- onship is very motivational to me because they truly believe in my ability to win races, and they are willing to support me and help me accomplish my goals. I can- not wait to represent them. This is definitely a dream come true." Cantrell will compete in the 250 B and Schoolboy classes in 2015 joining TLD teammate, Jus- tin Hoeft, who will race in the A class. Cantrell is slated to move into Hoeft's position the follow- ing year. "We are very excited to bring Sean to the team," says team manager Tyler Keefe. "He was the missing piece of the puzzle for us. With our new partner- ship with KTM and our alliances with Lucas Oil and Red Bull, Sean will fit perfectly into our program. We believe he has the ability to win titles at the ama- teur level over the next couple years and then continue to do that once he transitions to pro racing. We couldn't be happier to welcome Sean into the TLD family." Troy Lee (right) signed amateur star Sean Cantrell to a multi-year deal.
