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...
What I've felt since it ended is that 
I've definitely become stronger.
Seitdem habe ich das Gefühl,
Siento que me hice mucho
más fuerte desde que acabó.
Lo que siento es que me hice mucho
más fuerte desde que acabó.
Je le ressens de plus en plus
depuis la fin.
E, quando tutto è finito, 
l'emozione che provavo più di ogni altra
E desde que ele acabou, eu 
definitivamente me sinto mais forte.
