the best part was when Yamato congratulated Shinozaki. I didn't saw that coming, it was just great! :D

Heh, am I like the only one that really, really wanted Yamato to win? He's the mountain climber, after all!

That scene definitely lightened the blow and made me feel better about the whole thing.

This was the best episode yet.

Man once the opening started playing, it was a complete adrenaline rush right through to the end. The lyrics fit that scene perfectly and I couldn't sit still watching Mikoto going all out. The fact that there's still over half of the race left is daunting though. I hope this excitement carries through to my workouts tomorrow.

Noooo Shinozaki, don't stop before the race ends! That sad piano music is foreshadowing that he'll fail, right?

This guy is even more OP than the guy from Baby Steps, after just cycling for one month in which he couldn't even go up a mountain with dismounting he already beat everyone in a climb even though he's supposed to be a sprinter? How can there be any tension as he'll just magically keep reviving and cycle faster than anyone has ever done in the history of the sport.

Most hype episode so far, Shinozaki gave it his all to get the tag. It seems unlikely, but I hope he can hang on till the finish line.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

That was epic, seeing him shouting at the end makes you feel completed.
