Tom Sykes and Loris Baz's fall-out during the final round of the World Superbike Championship has spilled out onto social media after the deposed champion gave a candid response to Baz's assertion that he helped him in Mag﷽ny-Cours.

Baz courted controversy by refusing to abide by team orders and yield his sec𒊎ond place finish to Sykes during the first WSBK race in Qatar, a move that the Engli🐼shman felt needlessly put the pressure on both himself and team heading into the final race.

With Sykes going on to lose the WSBK title to Sylvain Guintoli, Sykes was fierce in his criticism of his team-mate, branding him 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:'disrespectful' for ignorꦚing team orders, while Baz was unrepentant, insisting he 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:owed it to his mechanics to get the best result possible.

However, the war of words has continued to bubble on social media, with Baz - who moves to MotoGP in 2015 - taking to Twitter to say:

"About team orders. At least I've helped hi♐m once in my life, in Magny-Cours. Not sure he can𒀰 say the same."

The comments drew the ire from Sykes, who took to his own Twitജte🐈r account to post a series of tweets responding to Baz directly, stating:

..great words big mouth!! Yes you helped me in Magny Cours. But my data and settings have helped you when you joined Kawasaki....-- Tom Sykes (@TheRealTomSykes)

Wi𝕴th Baz yet to respond, Sykes did take the time toꦏ congratulate new WSBK champion Guintoli.

UPDATE
Loris Baz did later respond back to Syk♔es directly with the a tweet pointing out the points lost in that ra📖ce would not have changed the overall outcome.
