I know daddy bought his way in but he has been a pleasant surprise with some rough glimmers of talent. Very likely would have beaten capirossi and elias (possibly depuniet) had they not retired. Really wonder how he'd look on the honda

Hector Barbera was a known agitator in the 250 class....he honestly doesn't give a shit about "playing nice"....he would have likely made MotoGP sooner but took a hard crash 2 years ago and broke his back....it was a long way back to health and confidence for him. He has the skill to run at the front...for a little while anyway....before the red fog sets in and he goes nuts on whoever happens to be dicing with him at that moment.
I'm gonna start watching Andrea Iannone full time....he was a revelation last year in Moto2....everyone on the grid thought he had an illegal bike mods as he was sooooo much faster than everyone else....the bike got inspected multiple times and it always passed....and first race out of the box this season he goes from 16th to 2nd in less than half race distance. The kid is a prodigy.
