Teshima and Aoyagi break away from the pack to pursue the riders ahead of them, but Kyoto Fushimi stands in their way. In order to complete the objective given to him by Midousuji, Yamaguchi challenges Teshima and Aoyagi to a sprint that comes with a catch. As a climber, the terms are disadvantageous for Teshima, but they can’t move forward without accepting the challenge. Out of concern for Aoyagi, who can’t sprint at full speed due to an injured leg, Teshima pulls him along, and Aoyagi recalls how they met as he watches him…
So in the end, I wanted to race my heart 
out and tell him how much I respect him.
Deswegen wollte ich
in diesem Rennen alles geben
Así que, al final, quería sincerarme
y decirle lo mucho que lo respeto.
Así que, al final, quería sincerarme
y decirle lo mucho que le respeto.
Alors, pour la dernière course,
je voulais tout donner
È per questo che volevo correre al massimo!
Então eu queria correr com tudo ao lado dele,
e explicar o quanto eu o respeito!
И в этой гонке я хотел приложить все 
усилия, а потом сказать, как его уважаю!
