Despite the presence of pro players like Nana Hiratsuka, Izumi is catching up thanks to her grandmother and uncle, who supplies her a race bicycle of her very own, that's built specifically for her, even though it's quite expensive. The screening test, filled with candidates ranging to the very best, they'd have to think of it as their own personal battle to pass, and all 5 girls did pass the test.

However, the screening test is only the first step, it's a lot of effort from here on in for everyone, going into the training camp. With the farewells, Izumi makes the fateful trip to the training academy to meet up with her peers. WIth the orientation ceremony, Izumi is put on the forefront thanks to Kurume knowing her instinct to ace her own term.

Will this be Izumi's ace-in-the-hole? Only time will tell in this thrilling women's bicycle race.

I'm proud of our girls. They are doing such a nice progress.

But the long journey has only begun. Now it's time for the long training camp.

Looks like things are going well.
And it looks like the competition is becoming serious i wonder how things will turn out for the group and i wonder if Izumi will stand out and what the others would think of that.
Since it seems like she is still in the underdog position.

Nice to see that the girls passed the screening test, not that it was really a question but if one of them didn’t make it that could have been an interesting turn, I just didn’t think that would happen lol. And along with the girls we know making it through, there were some other new faces as well, lots of cute babes, it’s just unfortunate they’ll have a helmet on most of the time if we ever actually get to the cycling, I thought that green haired girl was funny with her dad embarrassing her lol.

And it wasn’t a surprise Kurume was the special guest, I figured that out immediately lol, and she actually went and called out Izumi, I’d be happy for her but now she’s about to have everyone there on her ass so I think Kurume just put a target on her back lol, I guess it’ll be interesting to see the interactions going forward. Hopefully it won’t be long and we’ll get to see some racing, but I know I’m gonna regret saying this as I’m not looking forward to the CGI lol, at least that ED is still going harder than nobody’s business.

  • You can't ride a track racer on public roads, because it has no brake. Some stupid people riding on them get caught by police.
  • Though I only heard about the life of training schools for motorcycle races, they have quite strict rule. This page shows part of the rule.
    • You can go out of the school once a week.
    • You cannot use phones in the school.
    It's not a rule of a prison.

Idk where you live but a lot of people rides with fixed gears all around the world and it’s totally normal.
The police require lights and bells.
Its absolutely possible to brake with a fixed gear, there are specific ratios for urban usage.

It's a law in my country.

This is just such a drivel. If I was not dedicated to watching every sports anime ever, I probably would have dropped this a while ago.
