2021 Algarve Moto3 Grand Prix, Portimao - Race Results
Roo🌟kie Pedro Acosta is the 2021 Moto3 world cham꧒pion after last-lap drama in the penultimate Portimao round.
Starting just 14th o🉐n the grid, Acosta passed title rival and race leader Foggia into the Turn 3 hairpin on the final lap.
Foggia's title hopes ended moments later when he was rammed 𓃲from behi🃏nd by Darryn Binder, who had been trying to pass Sergio Garcia just behind.
