Jorge Martin clinched the 2018 Moto3 title with a race to spare after breaking away from the pack at Sepang for a dominant seventh victory of the season.
Martin's chief title rival Marco Bezzecchi had to finish fourth or better if Martin won in order to keep his title chances alive, and starting the penultimate lap the Italian looked set to do just that in second.
But on that he slipped all the way down to sixth, and managed to gain only one place on the final lap to finish fifth.
It gives Gresini Honda rider Martin an unassailable championship lead of 26 points ahead of the Valencia season finale in two weeks' time.
