To matters even more a♈wkward, Ortola raced for Nepa’s MTA Level Up Moto3 team last season so was climbing back onto his former team’s machine.
Ortola was later flung off his KTM agai꧂n and did not finish the race at the Circuit of the Americas.
Nepa came home in 18th.
The grand prix was won by David Alonso.
B▨ut it was the memorable moment between Ortola and Nepa - amusing to everyone except those involved, presumably - which will live long in the memory.
