Neither Teshima nor Ashikiba back down in their intense battle for the King of the Mountain. Though Teshima desperately clings to Ashikiba, his legs are approaching their limit. Teshima was often called an average racer, but believing his dedication and ability to push himself beyond his limits is his greatest strength, he continues pedaling. His passion inspires spectators to call his name, and when Ashikiba recognizes his strength as well, Teshima unleashes unexpected capabilities.
I thought he had no chance 
of keeping up with Takuto.
Ich hätte nie erwartet,
dass er mit Takuto mithalten kann.
No lo veía capaz
de seguir el ritmo de Takuto.
No lo creía capaz
de seguir el ritmo de Takuto.
J’aurais jamais cru
qu’il suivrait Takuto.

di tenere il passo con Takuto.

contra o nosso Takuto.
Я думал, у него даже шанса
 победить Такуто нет.
