AMA 250cc Grand Prix Champion Chuck Sorensen will campaign a Yamaha TZ250 in GP Tech colors in 2001.

“We have a test scheduled in January. Derrick King will also ride and we’re still debating on another rider,” said team owner Geoff Maloney, who is retiring from active competition to manage the effort. GP Tech fielded King, Michael Barnes and Maloney in 2000.

Maloney added that GP Tech has become the distributor of AP Racing motorcycle brake components in the U.S.
