Rookie Pedro Acosta is the 2021 Moto3 world champion after last-lap drama in the penultimate Portimao round.

Starting just 14th on the grid, Acosta passed title rival and race leader Foggia into the Turn 3 hairpin on the final lap.

Foggia's title hopes ended moments later when he was rammed from behind by Darryn Binder, who had been trying to pass Sergio Garcia just behind.

Binder, moving to MotoGP next season, tried to apologise to Foggia after the race but was firmly told to leave the Leopard garage.

The South African was subsequently disqualified from the final results by the FIM Stewards for 'irresponsible riding'.
