In what may be the shortest marriage in the history of off-road, FactoryONE Sherco and Stew Baylor have parted ways, despite being in the midst of a racing shutdown. One can only speculate that the timing is such that it allows both parties to regroup and move forward before the GNCC, NEPG and Full Gas Sprint Enduro seasons resume.

Here is the brief, but pointed press release from the team, which leaves more questions than answers –

Spring Branch, TX – Effective immediately, FactoryONE Sherco and its partners have parted ways with Steward Baylor Jr. FactoryONE Sherco official will not be available for comment.
