A seasoned campaigner, Sergio Gadea returns to the 125cc class from Moto2 for the final year of the category in a bid to secure the world title, riding for the Blusens by Paris Hilton Racing Team.

A previous GP winner in 125s with a best finish of fifth overall (2006 and 2009), Gadea made the step up to Moto2 for its inaugural season in 2010 riding for Sito Pons’ set-up. Good early results – including a podium at Mugello – came but Gadea struggled in the latter half of the season, eventually finishing 17th and taking a ride in the final 125cc campaign for the 2011 season.
