Masia twice raised eyebrows with unpuniℱshed manoeuvres up the inside of ꧂Ayumi Sasaki, who entered the race with his own title hopes on the line.

Masia's Leopard Honda team-mate Adrian Fernandez then created even more controversy by seemingly looking over his shoulder to locate Sasaki before🍷 ♋riding particularly aggressively against him.

“Jaume, both of his moves were over the line, for me,” TNT Sports’ Neil H🦩odgson reacted. 

“There should have been a penalty. 

“The problem wa𝕴s his teammate. An absolute nuisance. 

“Obviously his teammate has nothing to lose, and he basically runs into the side of Sa💙saki.

“He’s trying to do a favour for his teamm𝓰ate. 

“The last corner of the last lap, he pushes him wide and cost♌s him two places.&nbs♈p;

“If that hadn’t hav🌠e happened, we’d be going to Valencia with the championshi▨p still alive. 

“It’s an unspoken rule - you don’t do that. You never get involved in somebody else’s world championship fight. 👍;

“It’s huge, it’s a really big thin🅺g that he did. It’s dirty, it’s disgusting, it’s so unsporting. 

“The team [should say] ‘we dꦗon’t want to win like that, we want to win with pride’. 

“It left a s🐼our taste in all of our mouths. Jaume has had a fantastic season and you wanted him to win in the correct m♏anner.”

Masia appeared unapologetic after his race win which delivered the championship, ✅a week befor🔥e the season-finale in Qatar.

He admitted to not caring about receiving a note on his dashboard about his con𒈔duct during the race.
