West to return with Speed Master

Anthony West has confirmed that he will be returning to MotoGP for the 2012 season, running a CRT-prepared bike in the new-look 1,000cc class.

The Australian has announced via Twitter that he will be running a Speed Master machine, with the team having previously competed with Andrea Iannone in Moto2.

Like the squad, West will also be making the step up from Moto2. The team itself is expected to run an FTR chassis, with engines coming from either Aprilia or Honda.
