“Unspoken rule” broken amid Moto3 controversy: “Dirty, disgusting, unsporting”

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.
