Honda Racing's Kevin Fontainha took his first GP1000 by Motul win in race two of MOTO1000GP's GP Paraná in Brazil. He reclaimed the lead on the last lap, beating Maxi Scheib by 0.169 seconds and Eric Granado by 0.373 seconds.
More than the 0.169-second margin, I want to see how Fontainha reset after losing the lead at Turn 0 on the final lap and took it back by the main straight. After 21 laps of a three-way fight, the reserve left in a rider's fingertips decides it. A first GP1000 win in his first season, in a finish like that, stays with a pit crew forever.

When three bikes finish within fractions of a second, getting through without contact matters too.
A rider who fought for the GP600 title is already winning in the top class.
Scheib at 0.169 and Granado at 0.373. That three-way fight was insanely tight.
This is scary form in year one with Honda's factory team. The next round is a must-watch.
A first win by 0.169 seconds is almost too perfect. Fontainha, wow.
Getting passed on the last lap and taking it back takes unreal nerve.
