With James Ellison out of the picture andShane Byrne set to stay in British Superbikes next season, Paul Bird is searching for another rider to front his MotoGP effort and he choice could fall onMichael Laverty.
Laverty has two offers to stay in BSB - fron Yamaha and Honda - but he could be tempted to join PBM’s team and ride the ART.
“I’ve got on really well with both Honda and Yamaha teams these past two season, but the lure of World championship and racing against Edwards and De Puniet in CRT is appealing,”said Laverty. “I know it’s the second tier championship in MotoGP, and it’s even harder to know what is the best decision to make, as the Yamaha deal with Shaun is right on the wire and he can’t hold on much longer.”
Yonny Hernandez is still tipped to be Paul Bird’s second rider.
