The Brazilian Eric Granado finished ninth in the opening race of the Aragon stage this Saturday (23/7), for the 2022 Spanish Superbike Championship. Representing the Honda Laglisse team, the rider has another challenge valid for the fifth round of the competition, this Sunday (24/7), with the second race of the main category, Superbike. The race will be broadcast live on YouTube Honda Motos Brasil, starting at 8:45 am (EST).

Granado speeds the Honda CBR 1000RR-R Fireblade SP motorcycle and believes he can deliver even more in the second race. "Today was a difficult day. I made a reasonable start, from ninth place, and I was in the front group in the first laps. I had a little difficulty overtaking a driver, and after I managed to do that, the group in front started to distance itself. Ninth place was the best I could do today. It is really a result far from what we expect, but we will find a solution for me to be more competitive in Sunday's race," he says.

He believes that the choice of tires will be decisive. "I'm working with the team to find the tire that best suits my driving style. We have several compounds available, so I hope that tomorrow we have a good set of tires for the second heat," said the 26-year-old rider, who is competing in the Spanish Superbike Championship for the second year in a row.

In order not to miss any detail of this Sunday's race, the broadcast on YouTube Honda Motos Brasil offers narration in Portuguese by motorcycle racing expert Guto Nejaim, and comments by Honda rider and ambassador Leandro Mello, sponsored by Pro Honda.
