There is lots in the press about the manner of Jaume Masia's Moto3 title win last weekend. Not just the borderline (over the line?) passes he himself made on Sasaki, but also for his teammate Adrian Fernandez punting Sasaki off, after seemingly looking for him to see where he was. Both Doohan and Hodgson have said that in their opinion they consider that it was over the line.

 

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised at poor riding standards between two riders going for a championship after all Marc Crashez has set the standard for this kind of conduct and by getting away with it, the authorities are basically saying it's ok (and that was even before Freddie Spencer became chief steward and Freddie has history too in that department   :p  ). But for a team mate to do what appears to be to deliberately run off a rival that's new. Yes I remember Spaan being mugged by Capirossi's fellow Italians and sure Rossi accused Crashez of "interferring" with his race to help Gorgeous George, but to actually crash into a rider that your team mate is racing for a title I can't remember that happening before.
