I really enjoy how their going through and telling you about everyone. The old guy in this epi was really interesting to me.
It's weird though, I thought this race might last for one-three episodes but it's looking to be super long.
I really don't mind so long as the show keeps focused though.

That old man was really boring -_-
Well I guess he personally demonstrated that you have to keep your pace during a race (and the importance of it). That's about it

Okay, does this anime get any more ridiculous than this? Seriously, this episode was so ridiculous, and in a negative way. I really like bikes and all but right now I'm considering dropping this show completely.

I am not dropping this but I agree, it's ridiculous. I don't like how Mikoto is as fast as Yamato at mountain climbing, that's so bull, especially when Mikoto was super exhausted before, and Yamato is as fresh as ever, that's very bull tbh imo

Seriously what did you guys expect, since when has the main character ever not been basically good at everything or push through with his willpower alone? I mean it's ridiculous to even believe that someone who was only riding for a month could last this long in the first place. That's what's so exciting about sports anime, we get to see people take reality and push it to its limit.

Frankly I think that it's awesome that Mikoto was able to regain his strength because the worst thing you can do in any sport is give up. This episode was also great because we got to see how much Yamato really cares for Mikoto, just like a proper rival/friend should.

Great episode.

Great episode.

In a good sports anime the protagonist always has great (undeveloped) strengths, but also some weaknesses. Mikoto after only cycling for a month has already surpassed a cyclist who has probably been cycling for over 20 years. That's just stupid. Even Yamato being faster already is hard to believe. I was rather enjoying this anime, but since the race started that pretty much stopped.

The 30 years old guy is a really good addition to the tension of the race and mountain climbing, I really like him
