Victory and championship lead. Jaume Masiá won the Japanese GP and took over the top spot in the Moto3 World Championship, which comes in the decisive stage of the season.
‘This victory feels great. As I said in India, I have a lot of desire, and I hope to continue enjoying moments like this with the team. The key has been to keep evolving, give everything working, which is something I’ve always done. And above all, I continue to have the support of the team, something that has never been lacking for me. I am a very affectionate person, and the truth is that I have always received a lot of affection’, highlighted the Leopard Racing rider.
For Masiá, one of the keys to the improvement he has seen over the past few months is the ‘warmth that the team has conveyed. Since the beginning of the season, there has been a predisposition to listen to me, evolve, and look at every detail with the goal of being better, because we are a bit behind compared to other teams in the championship. It’s the details; at the end of the day, we are all human, and every detail matters a lot’, emphasized the new leader of the category.
After 14 rounds, Masiá has 199 points, six more than Ayumu Sasaki (Liqui Moly Husqvarna Intact GP) and nine more than the former leader Dani Holgado (Red Bull KTM Tech3).
