Tom Sykes and Loris Baz's fall-out during the final round of the World Superbike Championship has spilled out onto social media after the deposed champion gave a candid response to Baz's assertion that he h✤elped him in Magny-Cours.

Baz courted controversy by refusing to abide by team orders and yield his s♎econd place finish to Sykes during the first WSBK race in Qꦓatar, a move that the Englishman felt needlessly put the pressure on both himself and team heading into the final race.

With Sykes going on to lose the WSBK title to Sylvain Guintoli, Sykes was fierce in his criticism of his team-mate, branding him 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:'disresp෴ec🐷tful' for ignoring team orders, while Baz was unrepentant, insisting he 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:owed it to his mechanics to get the best result possible.

However, the war of words has continued to bubble on social media, with Baz - who moves to MotoGP in 2015 - taking to Twitter to say:

"About team orders. 🎉At least I've helped him once in my life, in Magny-Cours🙈. Not sure he can say the same."

ꦆThe comments drew the ire from Sykes, who took to his own Twitter account to post a series of tweets resp🥃onding to Baz directly, stating:

..great words big mouth!! Yes you helped me in Magny Cours. But my data and settings have helped you when you joined Kawasaki....-- Tom Sykes (@TheRealTomSykes)

With Baz yet to respon♎d, Sykes did take the time to congratulate new WSBK champion Guintoli.

UPDATE
Loris Baz did later respond back to ✅Sykes directly with the a tweet pointing out the points lost in that race would not have changed the overa𓄧ll outcome.
