Hector Barbera
Héctor Barberá began his World Championship career at 15 in 2002, under the guidance of Jorge Martinez ‘Aspar’. In his first season Barbera established himself as a very talented rider. In 2003 he broke through with his first victory at Donington Park, making him one of the youngest riders ever to win a Grand Prix. A strong finish to the season saw him take third place in the championship and he signed up for a title challenge with Seedorf Racing in 2003.
Despite several crashes and mechanical failures, victory in the final race won Barberá the runner-up spot and a factory ride with Fortuna Honda in the 250cc class for 2005. After two years with Fortuna he moved to Team Toth for 2007 where he finish the year fifth overall. Staying with the same team in 2008 and with an official Aprilia RSA at his disposal Barbera was one of the candidates for the title, but he finished fourth in the final standings after a serious back injury sustained in Japan cut his season short.
Returning for the start of the 2009 season with the newly formed Pepe World Pons WRB team, Barberá ran his best season ever in the 250cc classification, finishing second in the Championship.
Riding once again with the Aspar camp which launched his career in the World Championship, Barberá piloted Ducati machinery for his debut season in MotoGP in 2010 as a single-rider entry for Parginas Amarillas Aspar. Barbera signed on again with Aspar Ducati for the 2011 season.
