After long periods of speculation, it has been announced that Héctor Barberá will now compete for the novel
Aspar squad on Ducati engines in the premier class next year.
Now competing on an Aprilia in the 250cc World Championship
for the Pepe World Team, Barberá places fourth in the rankings with one win this year and two extra stage performances
to his name. He will regroup with the Aspar structure for which he competed in the 125cc sessions in 2002 and 2003.
Staff manager Jorge Martínez ‘Aspar’, stated: “This is excellent news for us, to be reunited with
Héctor Barberá after so many years. We won the Spanish championship together and Grands Prix in 125cc and I’m
sure this will be another great project. We hope for good results next year and we want this to be a long term agreement.
Hopefully Héctor can earn factory machinery with his results. For our team it is a dream to be competing in all three
World Championship categories.”
