IN THE WIND P34 JAB MOTOR- SPORTS PULLS OUT I t appears that TwoTwo Motorsports isn't the only motocross team to bow out early. JAB Motors- ports is evidently done as well. This made news when the team's rider Matt Lemoine announced on Instagram: "Sucks to say this and really upsets me but the JAB Motorsports crew will not be racing the remaining rounds of the outdoor series due to financial issues. I can't thank all my sponsors [enough] who have stood behind me no matter what and gonna take this time and get ready for what the future holds." Lemoine competed in the 2015 250 East Supercross Series where he finished fifth at the series opener in Arlington, Texas. After that, he went 7-12 at the next two rounds before pulling out of the series with an injury. He returned for the outdoors nationals in the 450 class. Up until the latest round at Budds Creek, his best moto finish was 14 th at Muddy Creek, and he was 20 th in the championship. He did not compete at Budds Creek. WHAT'S NEXT FOR JOSH GRANT? J osh Grant is one of the casualties of the collapse of the TwoTwo Motorsports Team and it appears that his future is very much up in the air right now based on an Instagram that he posted last week. The post read: "Chad and El- lie—As a fellow business owner, I respect your decision to do what is best for your family. Thank you for the opportunity to further my career and helping me achieve my most consistent Supercross season thus far." Grant followed that up with a second post: "To my fans—I don't know what the future holds for me. I'm not sure I'll be racing a motorcycle next year. Maybe my crash before Hangtown [and] knee injury in Colorado are a sign that this is the way things are supposed to unravel. Thank you for keeping me going the past four years. Ashley and I trust God's plan for us and have managed to stay calm and let our faith guide us through and to our next chapter in life. We will Matt Lemoine was left without a ride when his FAB Motorsports Team pulled out of the outdoor MX nationals.
