It happened in the final part of the test James Teagle that was third and fighting for the podium with Diego Métrida, he left the circuit losing all the options to get third place.

The moment of sportsmanship that was lived was incredible when Diego realized that Teagle had left the circuit and instead of entering the finish line, which would mean getting on the podium with Noya, waited for him and let him pass before demonstrating his value as a person and athlete.

"Seeing how he was wrong, I unconsciously stood up.

He deserved it, he shouldn't have seen the detour to the finish line. Or they did not signal it well. I do not know. The fact is that he deserved it“. Diego commented.
