Pasini in Speed Master MotoGP move

Mattia Pasini will step up to MotoGP with the Speed Master squad's CRT programme this year. The seat had been earmarked for former factory Kawasaki MotoGP rider Anthony West, before the Australian announced yesterday that he had been unable to raise a sufficient budget. Pasini was a race winner in 125cc and 250cc, but the 26-year-old Italian has had two difficult seasons in Moto2 over the past two years
