125 cc class
In 2002 Barberá switched to the 125 cm³ class of the motorcycle world championship and started in the Master Aspar team on Aprilia. After initial difficulties, he managed to make it into the top ten at the end of the season and ended the season with 50 points in 14th place overall. He was also able to win the Spanish 125 cc championship this year.
The 2003 season Barberá continued to play in the Aspar team on Aprilia and made his breakthrough at the age of only 16. When Grand Prix of Great Britain in Donington Park he celebrated his first victory, later, at the Japanese Grand Prix in Motegi , he even managed a second win.
