To matters even more awkward, Ortola raced for Nepa’s MTA Level Up Moto3 team last sea♓son so was climbing back onto hisཧ former team’s machine.
Ortola was later ♈flung off his KTM again and did not finish 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 - amusing to everyone except those involved, presumably - which will live long in the memory.
