WATCH: Moto3’s Ivan Ortola crashes… then climbs back onto the wrong bike
Ivan Ortola crashed in the Moto3 grand prix⛦ then climbed back onto the wrong bike.
Ortola and Stefano Nepa collided and bo꧑th fell, leading to the remarkable exchange.
Ortola rega𝄹ined his feet and ran aft😼er what he thought was his bike.
He climbed back on - unknowingly onto Nepa’s 𒅌bike.
𒈔Nepa had to charge after Ortola, and yank him back off the bike.
Ortola then ran back t🉐owards his own bike which lay on the floor several metres🔯 away.

To matters even more awkward, Ortola raced for Nepa’s MTA Level Up Moto3 team last season so 🐻was climbing back onto his former team’s machine.
Ortola was later flung off his KTM again and did not finishꦕ the race at the Circuit of the Americas.
Nepa came home in 18th.
The grand prix was won by David Alonso.
But it was the memorable moment between Ortola and Nepa -꧒ amusing to everyone except those involved, presumably - which will live long in the memory.
