always does well here, and he
had extra incentive to do well
since he has not yet landed
a team for the 2016 season.
(He's currently filling in on the
Monster Energy Kawasaki
squad.) A grand prix victory
would certainly look good on
his resume, and it certainly
looked as though he was go-
ing to get one based on his
performance during the first
half of the first moto. Grant got
around both Cairoli and Webb
early and opened up a small
lead, only to have Webb catch
back up after Grant twisted
his right ankle. After a heated
exchange with Webb, Grant
slipped to second, then third
when Febvre came calling.
Between motos, the ankle
was treated and Grant came
out swinging once again,
taking the early lead and this
time holding off a late charge
by Febvre, which was helped
when the Frenchman made
TLD/Lucas Oil/Red Bull KTM
teammates Jessy Nelson (79)
and Shane McElrath (70) went
1-2 on the MX2 podium. Nelson
won both motos.
