Race, start. Click...click! There are only 80 meters left until the Sprinters' Goal, and Hakone's Doubashi and Sohoku's first-year Kaburagi are neck and neck! With so little distance remaining, Kaburagi decides to finally shift into top gear--but will it be enough to overcome Doubashi's rampage and win the green sprinter tags?! Meanwhile, Onoda gets swallowed by the peloton just before the Mountain Stage. It's familiar territory for him, but there's one key difference: Onoda's new reputation as defending champion means everyone's on guard against his infamously outrageous comebacks...

Hakone's Doubashi and Sohoku's first-year Kaburagi race towards the finish line of the first race in the Inter-High. Onoda embarks on the mountain stage of the race and finds himself surrounded by the peloton. Makishima returns to Japan and hurries to the race to surprise Onoda.
