Excited by Izumida taking the sprint result, Hakone Academy pushes to the front. Meanwhile, Sohoku's team is scattered, and their terrible situation continues. Naruko expends energy as he clings to the lead pack and waits for the rest of his team to catch up. Teshima, Sakamichi, and Imaizumi are passed by Kumamoto Daiichi, and they fall deeper into despair. However, Sakamichi cheerfully asserts Aoyagi and Kaburagi will catch up and continues pedaling. When Teshima looks behind him, he sees a pair of yellow jerseys come into view--!
Since they're not trying to catch up, 
they must've lost the will to fight.
Da sie nicht
versuchen aufzuholen,
Como no quieren alcanzarnos, debieron
perder la voluntad de pelear.
Como no quieren alcanzarnos, han debido
de perder la voluntad de pelear.
Vu qu’ils nous rattrapent pas,
ils ont dû perdre toute motivation.
Visto che non stanno tentando di raggiungerci,
devono aver perso la voglia di lottare.
Como eles não vão conseguir nos alcançar,
provavelmente vão perder a vontade de lutar.
Раз они не пытаются догнать —
 их боевой дух совсем иссяк.
