Josh was set to compete in selected Pro races as well as competing in the AMCA British Championships onboard a Paul Grimshaw Vehicle Movements Honda, but he announced last night that his coaching business will be taking precedent from now on, although he will be racing for fun onboard a 250 2 stroke.

Read Josh’s full statement:
“The time has come to take a step away from racing as I once knew it.. I’ve made a decision to no longer race the Honda for PGVM. Paul and family have gone above and beyond for the past few years and I really appreciate everything they have done! Although this may come across negatively, it’s a decision that makes total sense.
My coaching business has been gaining momentum for a good few years now and I am fully invested in my riders, having been towards the top of the British motocross championship in years gone by I know how much time needs to be invested for riding / testing / training / recovery to be at your best and most importantly, safe. I simply cannot commit that time now and for that reason it’s only fair to ride & race as a secondary to my business at this time in my life!
I have committed & invested in my own fun and bought a 250 2 stroke! I will ride & keep fit and enjoy dropping in on some races throughout the year! Another thing I really enjoy is bringing the content, so that will be a priority 🎥🔥
I’ve loved my professional career and achieved some things I didn’t think I could. I worked really hard and always juggled work alongside, taking a very different path to most & for that i’m proud!
There has been so many people that have helped me throughout, you know who you are 👊😉
It’s not the end, plenty of races and plenty of premix to follow 👊💨
See you soon
