The Sohoku High School Bicycle Racing Club has concluded their fierce battle at the Inter-High. First year Onoda Sakamichi and his classmates Imaizumi and Naruko switch to new bikes and are preparing for new battles on a team without the third-years. Sohoku's new captain Teshima and his friend Aoyagi also begin working towards a second consecutive championship. As they prepare, Sakamichi's idol Makishima has some words for him...
I might even be able to pedal faster 
than I did at the Inter-High.
Besser als beim Inter-High!
¡Tal vez pueda pedalear más rápido
que en el Interescolar!
¡Tal vez pueda pedalear más rápido
que en el Interescolar!
Je pédale plus facilement
que pendant l’interlycée.
Così potrò pedalare
Acho que conseguirei pedalar mais
 rápido do que no Intercolegial!
