The graduation ceremony for Ito and the others, and further thanks to Hiratsuki for her early graduation, everyone gets to rest at Izumi's Hot Spring place and residence, not to mention the race held in her area. And although Izumi came up short behind fellow racer Takuma, she was still eager since she finished 2nd. The return of Hiratsuka for the graduation race at the very last minute, she gets her leeway since she's the star racer, and rather than Kuma facing her, it's Izumi and the other girls riding alongside her, having learnt firsthand from the race experience with said girl. And like that Kurume had predicted, Izumi overcame Hiratsuka by just a close hair to finish the race strong.

Just like that, everyone has graduated and gotten their licenses, and the Rinkai Rookie Final coming up will be the turning point going pro.

Congratulations on the debut, but the road to being a pro will not be easy going forward.

Well Izumi finally has her victory now she needs to prove herself against other pro's so let's see how that goes.
It will be interesting to finally see her perform on stage.

I’m happy to see everyone graduated from the training camp, poor Kuma wasn’t there with them but depending on how far into the future this show goes we may or may not see her again, but for now it’s time to put these girls on bikes and race each other one last time before they go pro. We didn’t get to see all the races but we did at least get to see the last one, and Nana herself even showed up to participate even though she graduated early, of course they weren’t gonna turn her away though lol.

And the race was pretty exciting, I’m once again thankful for the closeups since from far away it doesn’t look as thrilling, each girl really fought for the win but Izumi and Nana going for the kill at the same time resulted in Izumi’s win and Nana’s first loss, she was a bit handicapped from the quick flight over and borrowing a bike but it still means a lot that Izumi was able to win, now she’s properly established herself as Nana’s rival. And with the promise of meeting again for a big race to come, off to becoming pros they go, I found myself enjoying the training camp stuff overall but I’m excited to see where this show goes now that we’re moving on from it. And lastly I wanted to mention I liked the bits between the two pro cyclist dudes, Midori’s dad wasn’t about to hand her over lol.
