@z.labyad remains with Timão! ⚫⚪

The Moroccan midfielder has extended his contract and will continue his journey at @corinthians, a meaningful sign of trust from the club as he works his way back from an ACL injury.

Congratulations to Zakaria. Thank you for your trust, and best of luck for what’s ahead!

2 more years. And straight back on the podium. 🏁🔥

After finishing 3rd in the 2025 Moto2 World Championship with 7 podiums, @barrybaltus7 and @redsracingteam are continuing their journey together for the 2027 and 2028 Moto2 seasons. This was celebrated in style with a P3 finish for Barry at Misano last weekend. 🥉

@cresta.thesportsfirm worked alongside @Zeloshomeofsports on the REDS deal and on the wider framework supporting Barry’s continued progression in Moto2. Our role in motorsport goes well beyond one agreement: we work across the relationships and structures that allow a driver’s career to move forward, with a deep understanding of how the paddock works.

Congratulations Barry and Zelos. Full throttle for what comes next! 🏍️💨
