The Spanish 125cc Championship is notorious for producing future MotoGP stars and polishing raw diamonds of motorcycle racing. A year after later teammate and 125cc world champion Alvaro Bautista completely dominated the CEV in 2003, Aleix Espargaro took over of the crown in the Spanish championship.
With lots of team changes in the world championship however his results didn't show his true potential until he was unluckily left without a team this season and then went on to blow the motorcycle world away with two substitute rides in 250cc which earned him two more rides in the MotoGP class. It seems like replacement rides are his successful niche and it might have brought him a seat at Pramac Ducati for the rest of the season. We shall see and remain in awe.
Yay, Aleix :D
