Career

edit

Born inDos Aguas,Valencia Province,Barberá began his World Championship career at the age of 15 in the2002125cc world championship, under the guidance ofJorge Martínez "Aspar",who teamed Barberá and fellow youngsterÁngel Rodríguezup with the experiencedPablo Nieto.

In his first season Barberá established himself as the most promising rider of the three and in2003he broke through, with his first victory atDonington Parkmaking him one of the youngest riders ever to win a Grand Prix. A strong finish to the season saw him take third place in thechampionshipand he signed up for a title challenge withSeedorf Racingin2003.[2]Several inopportune crashes and mechanical failures derailed his hopes but victory in the final race secured the runner-up spot and a factory ride with FortunaHondain the 250cc class for2005.[2]After two years with the team he moved to Team Toth in2007.[2]

His bike somersaulted through the air, with Barberá escaping somewhat uninjured. However, a further crash in practice atMotegileft him with two spinal fractures, ending his season.[3]
