Michael Laverty expands GRYD Racing operations through TAS Racing takeover

Former MotoGP rider Michael Laverty is expanding his GRYD Racing organization by taking over the Northern Ireland-based TAS Racing. This move integrates a team with 25 years of experience in British short circuits and international road racing into the GRYD framework. Laverty currently manages entries across several categories, including Moto4, Sportbike, Superstock, and JuniorGP Moto3. He continues to balance these ownership duties with a broadcasting role in MotoGP. The funding model for his teams incorporates proceeds from his personal clothing brand to supplement sponsorship revenue. Laverty aims to eventually secure presence in Moto2 and World Superbike to complete his competitive ladder.
