Jaume Masia is the 2023 Moto3 world champion after some dramatic final laps at the pe🥀nultimate round in Qatar.
Th🐽e Leopard rider surged to the front as title rival Ayumu Sasaki dropped out of the lead group after being pushed wide by Masia's team-mate Adrian Fernandez:
MIGHT HAVE JUST WON HIS TEAMMATE THE CHAMPIONSHIP!
— MotoGP™ (@MotoGP)
He BARGES back to 9th!
Masia then narrowly held🗹 off David Alonso and Deniz Oncu (who overcame a double long lap for jumping the start) for victory.
Sasaki - who had earlier slugged it out directly with Masia, facing several block passes from the Spaniard - crossed t✃he line in sixth place after a big save on the final lap.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Ros🧸si come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
