Jauma Masia will take a 13 points title lead over Ayumu Sasaki into the final rounds of the 2023 Moto3 season after a three-way showdown at Sepang ended with Sasaki's team-mate Collin Veijer holding off the Japanese for a debut victory, while Masia completed the podium in third.

"I didn't expect my team-mate would pass me," Sasaki revealed in parc ferme.

"I had to attack my team-mate or the group behind would have passed me," said Veijer.

The title hopes of Dani Holgado and David Alonso were dealt another heavy blow as part of an early multi-rider accident, triggered by a highside for Alonso. Both are now 41 points from the top (50 remaining).

Fellow championship contender, Deniz Oncu, is officially out of the title chase after being taken down by his own falling team-mate Jose Antonio Rueda, the Turkish rider rejoining outside the top ten.
