Neither Teshima nor Ashikiba back down in their intense battle for the King of the Mountain. Though Teshima desperately clings to Ashikiba, his legs are approaching their limit. Teshima was often called an average racer, but believing his dedication and ability to push himself beyond his limits is his greatest strength, he continues pedaling. His passion inspires spectators to call his name, and when Ashikiba recognizes his strength as well, Teshima unleashes unexpected capabilities.
I even asserted he had no 
talent or knack for riding.
Ich hab ja auch gesagt,
er hätte weder Talent noch Gespür.
Yo mismo afirmé que no tenía
talento ni aptitudes para el ciclismo…

e non era fatto per il ciclismo.
Eu concordei que ele não tinha talento,
não levava jeito pro ciclismo.
У него действительно нет 
какого-то особого таланта.
