However, Naruko is nearly exhausted after battling against Manami and Shinkai. Kuroda is rapidly catching up from behind, and Midousuji also attacks with the finish line so near! A fierce battle for the lead begins on the high-speed downhill!
On downhills, the riders in front 
face the brunt of the wind,
Beim Abstieg kriegt der Fahrer vorne
den ganzen Wind ab.
En las bajadas, los ciclistas al frente
se enfrentan a lo peor del viento
En las bajadas, los ciclistas al frente
se enfrentan a lo peor del viento
Ceux qui sont devant dans la descente
prennent le vent en pleine poire.
Quando si va in discesa, sono i ciclisti in testa 
a incontrare più resistenza da parte dell'aria,
Nas descidas, quem está na frente
sofre mais com o evento,
На спусках те, кто 
впереди, едут против ветра,
