Gyro won. I'm interested in learning what exactly is up with his Steel Ball.

This race has been pretty awesome so far & provided a lot of tension to who was going to win the first stage. By the end, the victor wasn't clear, although I was positive it wouldn't be Johnny. Gyro's victory here was awesome, using his powers in a clever, unique way that's become the norm for Araki's work.

Sandman is fast!!! He ran 15000 meters in about 18 minutes? That's almsot 50 km/h.

^ Note that Sandman took a lot of shortcuts, so that he had to run much less than 15km. Still, his top speed was 40km/hr, which is almost that of Usain Bolt's. What's amazing is that he managed to keep that up for so long. ArakiLogic running style helped.

Gyro deserved to win this, since it looks like he's the one who has done his homework.

That was intense, I wonder that alternative universe Enyaba provided the stand for that Lucky guy. I wonder how'll they come into play with the other characters or if they will even come into play. No one seemed to notice it so it is safe to assume no one except him is a stand user. So far so good, part 7 is showing a ton of potential.

GYRO WON! This was amazing! Much better than any stand battle, imo. Just a good ol'fashioned horse race!

Johnny's plan also seems to have worked as Gyro took notice of him.

That was simply epic. Dynamic finish of the 1st stage with beautiful art. :)

Gyro won! I though Pocoloco might be the winner in the end thanks to his Stand. Oh well, Gyro had also some tricks up his sleeves, haha.

I'm curious on what places rest of Gyro's rivals ended up. Mostly I'm interested in whether Johnny was faster than Dio, or was it opposite and Diego happened to reach the finishing-line faster.

It was a rather pleasant surprise to see that Gyro ended up taking first place even with the absurdly tough competition breathing down his neck and stealing the lead from time to time.

It's a bit funny that not even half an hour had passed by upon the first stage's completion. Taking the Steel Ball Run's ETA to the finish line, I can only imagine how absurdly long the other stages will be like.

good first arc, glad that the powers are nebulous still at this point, I was kinda worried that everyone would just get hit by the stand arrow again, which I'm kinda sick of

I wasn't expecting that!

Love that we are starting to see some intriguing stands, and also love how we aren't only focusing on them.

The story really feels like its own thing that works even without the stands, and the stands add just the right amount of flavor.

Great going so far! Can't wait to see more.
