Teshima and Aoyagi win their sprint race against Kyoto Fushimi and rejoin their team. Sakamichi enjoys racing with all six of his team members, but it doesn’t last long. Aoyagi’s legs, which have been pulling the team with all their might in order to catch up to Hakone Academy, have been in pain since the previous day and are nearing their limit. Kaburagi can’t hold back his tears as he watches the upperclassman’s back. By taking on Aoyagi’s hopes and racing for the team, Kaburagi experiences great personal growth of his own.
Aoyagi-san taught me through his riding 
and trusted me to pull the team.
Aoyagi hat mir beigebracht, wie man fährt,
Aoyagi me enseñó con su estilo
y me encargó tirar del equipo.
Aoyagi me ha enseñado con su estilo
y me ha confiado tirar del equipo.
Aoyagi m’a appris le cyclisme
et m’a transmis le témoin !
Me l'ha insegnata Aoyagi con il suo stile, 
e mi ha affidato il compito di tirare la squadra intera.
O Aoyagi me ensinou a pedalar, e confiou a mim
a tarefa de puxar o time!
Аояги многому научил меня
и доверил вести за собой команду.
