The incident of Migno and Masia and the spanish slap of the Italian
The Moto3 is the third category of the World Speed Motorcycle Championship. It is the division in which the youngest have experience and often make mistakes to avoid them when they jump to Moto2 and, later, if they manage to reach MotoGP. This Sunday at the Argentine Grand Prix, the third date of the season, there was an unusual event involving two drivers.
The minor division competition was the first at the Autodromo de Termas de Río Hondo, Santiago del Estero. The specialty usually delivers a lot of struggle and, before lap 15 was completed, the Italian Andrea Migno (Honda) entered the hairpin before the main straight, took it on the Spaniard Jaume Masia (KTM) and both fell.
Both riders did not suffer consequences, but Masia let Migno know her anger and, when she ran to grab his motorcycle, he slapped the Iberian man's helmet, who immediately abandoned and walked to the pits, he stayed at the entrance to the sector and waited for Migno, whom he rebuked. The Italian also defected due to damage to his motorcycle after the incident, which some on the networks compared to the slap of Will Smith to Chris Rock at the Oscars.
Then Masia went to the Migno box, but the song remained there. Although it was the great controversy of the race in the minor category, which usually delivers these maneuvers, since the boys go deep and sometimes want to be faster than the bike.
García 's spectacular maneuver on Foggia
But Moto3 also delivers exciting races for the fight for triumph and it is common to see two or three motorcycles in the same line. On the last lap, Spaniard Sergio García (GasGas) first beat Japan's Ayumu Sasaki (Husqvarna) and then went on par with Italian Dennis Foggia (Honda), who he overtook in the last corner and crossed the finish line first in a spectacular definition. The maneuver was for applause and Foggia greeted him to Garcia.
The audience present on the Santiago stage had a banquet of overpasses that took place especially on the long opposite straight, the next corner and in the hairpin where the episode between Migno and Masia took place.
The podium was completed by Foggia and Sasaki. While Garcia won his first victory of the year and captured the top of the championship with 58 points, although he only takes 4 to Foggia. For both are the ones who compete in the tournament since there is another Spaniard, Izan Guevara (GasGas), with 28 units, who led the race this Sunday, but was left out due to a mechanical failure.
It was a competition with several alternatives like the ones that Moto3 has and served as a good aperitif for the MotoGP.
