BYE-BYE TWOTWO
T
woTwo Motorsports has
officially closed its doors.
The team, founded by two-time
Supercross Champion and
former outdoor National Moto-
cross Champion Chad Reed,
said that, after a four-and-a-half
year run, the team can longer
stay afloat.
The team, which made its
debut using Hondas at the start
of the 2011 season, got off to
a good start with team owner/
racer Reed finishing second,
just four points behind Ryan
Villopoto, in the AMA Super-
cross Championship. The team
switched to Kawasaki in 2014.
For most of the team's exis-
tence, Reed was the sole rider
until taking on a teammate, Josh
Grant, for the 2015 season.
Reed won a handful of Super-
cross races for the TwoTwo
Motorsports team since its start
and was at times a title contend-
er, but he was slowed—often
times sidelined—by injuries from
2012 through 2015. Just last
week, Reed underwent shoul-
der surgery.
Both Reed and Grant have
struggled with injuries this year
and their performances on the
track have suffered as a result.
Reed finished the 2015 Super-
cross Championship in fourth,
Grant 11th. Reed is currently
18th in the Lucas Oil AMA Pro
Motocross Championship; Grant
is 23rd.
"Today we share the unfor-
tunate news that our journey
with TwoTwo Motorsports has
ended," Reed announced via
Instagram. He went on to say,
"Five years ago, we built this
race team from the ground up.
With a team of the best guys
in our industry, we created a
successful winning team. I've
Chad Reed put
an end to the
TwoTwo motor-
sports team.
