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

Responded🎶 to a post by 🦩Sasaki on Instagram, Doohan wrote:

“I’m in shock, no penalty for the riding standard🎃s shown by the winning rider, and team. Racing should be hard, but fair, the winner did not win on talent, he knew he didn’t have your talent. Sens𓆉ational ride Sasaki, you gave it all.”
