Pol Espargaro

Pol Espargaró, arrived in the 125 World Championship in 2006 participating in the last six races of the year. This promising rider from Barcelona replaced the injured Italian Andrea Iannone at Campetella Racing and made his debut with the Italian team onboard a Derbi at the Czech Republic Grand Prix. Two months before, Espargaró had made history as a wildcard in the Catalunya GP  when he finished 13th to become the youngest ever point scorer in a Grand Prix at the age of just 15 years and 8 days. His end of season run-in was spectacular, winning five consecutive races in Spanish 125cc Championship to become champion, followed by a 6th placed finish at the Valencian GP.
