Masia won the 2023 crown with a round to spare after putting several block passes on main rival Ayumu Sasaki, wꦍho was then sent wide by Masia’s Leopard Honda team-mate Adrian Fernandez.

Responded to a post by Sasaki on Instagram, Dooh🀅an wrote:

“I’m in shock, no penalty for the riding standards shown by t🦂he winning rider, and team. Racing shou🍃ld be hard, but fair, the winner did not win on talent, he knew he didn’t have your talent. Sensational ride Sasaki, you gave it all.”
