Former racer Laverty, who already fields a Moto3 Grand Prix team for Scott Ogden and Josh Whatley as well as British and European Talent Cup teams, will now occupy another rung on the ladder in JuniorGP (formerly known as CE🐭V).

Laverty will run established J🐟uniorGP podium finisher Eddie O’Shea, who moves from the Junior Talent Team structure to the new, standalone ‘British▨ Talent Team’, plus reigning British Talent Cup Champion Evan Belford.

While JuniorGP is the established stepping stone to a career in Motoꦅ3 Grand Prix, a Laverty-run British Talent Team will also race in the European Talent Cup. One place will be held for 2022 BTC Champion Johnny Garness, as his recovery continues, with 2023 BTC frontrunner Amanuel𒐪 Brinton as his team-mate.

"It is a proud moment for us to become ’The British Talent Team’, the title encompasses our ethos,” Michael Laverty said. “The ultimate ambition for our team is to promote talent from the UK and 🎃Ireland ꦬinto the premier MotoGP class, we have now created a clear pathway, having four British Talent cup graduates with us on the next steps of the ladder in both the European Talent Cup and JuniorGP for 2024.

“The pl꧙an is to develop our riders to graduate into our Moto3 Grand Prix team in ﷺthe future; competing against the best young riders in the world is the best preparation; I feel we are laying the correct foundations for the future of British racing at the very top level of the sport.

“I want to thank Dorna for the▨ir support in this collaboration, and I welcome Eddie O'Shea, Evan Belford and Amanuel Brinton into our team, alongside the returning Johnny Garness following his injuries."

“We’re really happy to announce this new collaboration with MLav Racing,” said Ana Ezpeleta, Talent Promotion Director, Dorna Sports. “We’ve worked together in a few different ways for a while, but to formalise and finally announce this whol𒀰e new project makes us really proud.

“The British Isles 💟is an important part of both motorcycle racing’s past and future, and we’re really happy to invest in that fut♚ure by creating these new opportunities on the Road to MotoGP.”
