Espargaro had made a brilliant comeback from 13th at the end of lap one to snatch the lead𓆏 from home hero Iannone with three laps to go.
The last lap began with Espargaro, Iannone and world championship leader🍨 Julian Simon in close formation, with Espargaro keeping his Derbi defensive to leave Iannone without a chance to pass.
But heading into the final turn, Iannone dived fꦏor the inside of Espargaro, but lost the front wheel of his Ongetta Aprilia - taking them both ou🦄t.
As Simon cruised to victory, Espargaro's bike was sent cart-wheeling over a tyre barrier, before the distraught young 🦩Spaniard confron♍ted Iannone.
Some pushing and shoving folౠlowed before Iannone head-buttedꦑ Espargaro (both still with helmets on) prompting the following judgement from Race Direction:
"On Sunday 6th September, during the 125cc race, rider Andrea Iannone (ITA) struck the head of rider Pol Esparജgar? (SPA), which is an action prejudicial to the interest of the sport. The Race Direction has decided to impose to rider Andrea Iannone a fine of USD 5,000. No appeal has been lodged."
