Toni will have a Suter 2012, the same bike with which he has done this season and Marc Marquez had already season finale units Aspar. Toni will have the technical collaboration of Henry Peris, who has worked with the 250cc and which has very good feeling.

Initially it was speculated that Gresini team Toni back Moto2 which won the World Cup in 2010, but the fact is that there has been at any time conversations. Nor has there been the possibility that Toni pilots next year, a CRT Aspar bike, it will do so safely and Aleix Espargaró, who after leaving the team Sito Pons Moto2 will jump to this new category in MotoGP. The second Aspar CRT for next season now has no owner, but an option that is open is that of Randy de Puniet, now without a team after ending its agreement with the Pramac-Ducati.
