It was a painful weekend that we experienced Hector Barberá on its Aragón route. He did not have the opportunity to show his abilities on the handlebars of a Yamaha R6 which the rumor first presented as stolen before a press release from the pilot announcing the end of his adventure with the Toth team.
Be fourth in a championship Supersport with the pedigree of a MotoGP rider in no way protects the pursuit of your career. The proof with Héctor Barberá whose journey has fallen from Charybdis to Scylla since he left the Grand Prix paddock. Not to mention the horrors of his private life marked by intemperance while driving...
In Aragon, Barberá, like his bike, had disappeared from traffic and was absent from the warm-up. The site GP One reports a team not knowing what happened to a missing motorcycle. Before preparing for an upcoming “team decision”. But it is the Spanish pilot himself who lifts the veil on the site Motosan :
» For my safety and that of the other runners, I will not be able to start the race, we do not have the means. and what started as a dream ends like a nightmare. The problems of default and respect of the agreement between the one who was to be our main sponsor and the team put an end to the SSP adventure today, at home, in a race which particularly excited me, without even to be able to run.”
“We started this project with a lot of enthusiasm, in Australia, without any training, with all the necessary equipment, with a practically stock motorcycle and even with the minimum necessary in the technical part, we managed to finish fourth. After this race the financial problems started and this forced us to compete in the race in Thailand with practically no spare parts and with an engine with too many kilometers. Here, the situation is the same, but we cannot continue like this, and out of responsibility, I must not even go to the circuit.”
“I am fourth in the championship and I think that with normal equipment, I could have been very competitive and fulfilled my objective for this year, which was above all to have fun and feel like a driver. The team also had this illusion, from the owner to the last mechanic. This makes me very angry, because I feel very good and I work like never before. But I'm not going to give up and I'm going to continue training to be ready, if it's possible to continue with what I love the most, which is flying.”
“I feel a lot of anger and helplessness, for this third race with these means and after being classified fourth in the general classification, we have no other choice but to accept this situation and continue to fight as I I've done it over the last few years.
“I’m sorry to everyone who came to watch the races and I can’t be at the track, to all my fans and to all the people who always support me.”
