Honda Racing's Eric Granado set the fastest Friday time at round four of Brazil's MOTO1000GP in Cascavel, posting a 1:01.181 in TL3. Maxi Scheib was only 0.066 seconds behind and the top five were covered by less than three tenths. A sprint follows on August 1, with the 21-lap main race on August 2.

The 1:01.181 matters, but the real thrill is 0.066 to Scheib and less than three tenths covering the top five. From turn-in to exit, a Friday flyer does not automatically become Sunday pace. Watch the sprint first: can Granado keep that rhythm when the pack closes in?

Sunday is 21 laps. More than Friday's flyer, I want to see who has tyre life late on.

Exactly. A 12-lap sprint and a 21-lap race are different games. Granado needs to show it.

TL3 is not qualifying, right? Still, that gap looks seriously close.

A 1:01.181 in TL3 is quick, but with 0.066 in it, Friday top spot settles nothing.

Only 0.066 to second and the top five within three tenths? That sprint should be wild.

If Scheib is only 66 milliseconds back, Honda cannot relax for a second.
