Day two of the Inter-high has begun, and the riders leave the starting line in the order they finished on the first day. Sakamichi and Teshima pedal to catch up to Imaizumi and Naruko in the lead, but Kaburagi notices he's feeling strange. Meanwhile, Hakone Academy maintains a slow pace in order to meet up with their shot caller Kuroda. Not feeling well, Kaburagi is eventually separated from his team. When Sakamichi tries to go help him, Teshima stops him, fearing how Hakone Academy will respond. Then Aoyagi opens his mouth...
That's how I knew they would slow down.
Deswegen ging ich davon aus,
dass sie langsamer werden!
Por eso pensé que reducirían.
Por eso pensé que reducirían.
Je me doutais qu’ils feraient ça !
È per questo che ero sicuro
 che avrebbero rallentato.
Por isso, eu sabia que eles
iam reduzir o ritmo.
Так я и понял, что они замедлятся.
