MADRID, 19 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish rider Jaume Masià (Honda) released his tension and joy after becoming Moto3 world champion this Sunday with his victory in the Qatar Grand Prix, where he went to the limit again with his rival Ayumu Sasaki (Husqvarna), criticizing the decisions of Career Management, but proud of his title.
“My ego, my person, could not allow me to win and seeing that no one has helped me throughout the year it was going to depend on me. I have fought with great enthusiasm and with the feeling that I would have fought 20,000 more laps. In no time moment I got tired, I had incredible strength throughout the race and I knew I was going to achieve it,” he said in statements to Dazn.
Masià explained the race in Lusail and the warnings from the stewards, with his teammate Pitito Fernández helping the Japanese not to finish in the top four. “My intention was to continue giving Sasaki a hard time, he had an incredible desire, but in the end they calmed me down, although he also continues to be dirty. It seems very unfair to me,” he stated.
“From Malaysia we even had a strategy for Adrián to follow Sasaki and I find it shameful and unacceptable that Race Direction stoops to the level of telling us that Adrián cannot follow Sasaki, telling us that he couldn’t bother him, that it was unfair, that I couldn’t get in his way. I don’t know what to think. In the end, screw them or not, a Spaniard won and that’s what it is,” he added.
Thus, the Spanish pilot wanted to celebrate his conquest. “In the end you don’t believe it until it happens. We deserve it like no one else. I have always had a phrase that a friend told me ‘if it’s for you even if you take it off and if not, don’t give it to them even if you wear it’ “It was my turn, and it was much more difficult for me than for others. I still can’t get the words out. I can’t believe I’m a world champion,” he concluded.
