Reports in the Spanish press suggest that there is a distinct possibility for Hector Faubel to return to the ranks of the Aspar Team next season.
The Spaniard has been a member of the Aspar squad since the beginning of his world championship career and joined Alvaro Bautista in the 250cc Mapfre Aspar Team last season. After his change to the Thai Honda team this year he has improved considerably on last year’s performance, including scoring his first ever 250cc podium.
These results didn’t go unnoticed by Jorge Martinez who remains a friendly relationship with Faubel and rumour has it that Hector might be considered for a seat in Martinez’ Moto2 Team next season.
However, Faubel said that no serious negotiations have taken place so far and he couldn’t say anything for certain.

Wow… never saw that coming!
I thought they had a pretty big fall out at the end of last year, but if they’re still on friendly terms, Hector was probably looking for a bike that had factory support and the Spanish press probably over exaggerated and scandalised everything!
Aspar’s got some pretty big shoes to fill next year!
Me neither!
If I remember correctly they didn’t so much have a fallout, but rather Aspar said at some point that he had enough of Faubel’s indecisiveness about where to go the next season and didn’t extend his contract. Plus, there was a world champion ready to take his place without demanding more (although he did get an RSA after all).
And he definitely has!
