Plot[]

Hoshino follows inches behind Keisuke through the corners. The shocked onlookers realise that he's trying to make his move during the uphill, as he won't stand a chance following on the downhill. They wonder how he'll manage to do it.

Sakai and Daiki come to the same conclusion, as the lighter FD has an advantage on the downhill. Sakai believes Hoshino would have a plan ready for any situation, but he isn't sure what he'll do.

Hoshino finally sees his opportunity.
