“We thought it was right for a project as young as CRT, Michele Pirro to be given an opportunity to further demonstrate his value. Pirro’s win in Valencia was both beautiful and memorable and gave us all strong emotions, and sent us the awareness of wanting to bring him the opportunity to become part of this fascinating adventure. In addition, we must always bear in mind that we are an Italian Team and the Italian is important for us and the choice to do this project with Michele is also the result of our strong feeling. ”

It was not easy to make the decision because initially I would have preferred to try to confirm and improve the results in Moto2 2011, but the growing confidence shown by Fausto Gresini in the season finale left me no doubt about the choice I should have done. I am honored to continue to be part of this fantastic group and together with them to develop this ambitious representing the future of MotoGP and I hope to repay their confidence expressed in me with the results and the technical development of this exciting company. “
