‘Aspar’ Martinez has confirmed today via the team’s official Facebook page that he’ll be fielding Randy de Puniet and Aleix Espargaro in MotoGP in 2012.

The team will be using CRT Aprilia powered bikes (today at Jerez, de Puniet was using a different frame confirmed by a couple of spy shots that you can see here).

Jorge Martinez ‘Aspar’: “We are really happy because we are facing a new challenge and we believe that the future of MotoGP is CRT, so we’re the first to join this initiative. Also this year we will continue to grow, in our first two seasons in MotoGP we had one rider and now we will have two, Randy De Puniet and Aleix Espargaró. I’m glad that Randy is back with the team, he was with us in 2005 and we had a very good relationship. Aleix was also with us in 2009 but only for two races, and it is pleasure to have him with us. We are convinced that this new challenge will be very successful, with our two riders and with Aprilia as our engine supplier . We wanted to use the Noale marque in this new project because of the wonderful relationship that unites us, and for their proven quality in lower classes. Our goal this year is to be the best CRT and prepare to go a step further in 2013. “
