Never two without three. After testing positive for alcohol for the 3rd time (see here), the Valencian driver Hector Barbera appeared today immediately before the courts, which revoked his driving license for a period of 12 months and imposed a sentence of 22 days of community service.
The penalty is therefore heavy, like repeat offenses, and we can bet that it will be scrupulously observed, unlike in 2014 when the pilot, who had already received a similar penalty, circumvented it. while driving with a license issued in Gibraltar… before being stopped behind the wheel of a flashy Maserati.
Let's just hope that instead of making him sweep the streets of Valencia, we put his talent as a pilot to good use to, perhaps, encourage vocations...
The two key years for the Spanish rider were 2004, with 4 victories in 125cc, and 2009 in 250cc, with 3 successes. These two seasons earned him the title of vice-world champion in each category.
Since then, having spent 8 seasons in MotoGP, Hector Barbera has never won a race again and has “come down” this year to Moto2 within the Pons HP 40 team.
