After the bitter-sweet first year welcoming race, the six-man-team that will represent Sohoku High School for the summer Inter-High is complete. In the latest episode of "Yowamushi Pedal: New Generation," the whole team is now participating on the Chiba Inter-High Road Race Preliminaries. However, as the title of the episode implies, trouble befalls on the new member of the team, Kaburagi Issa.

The preliminary course will consist of 10 laps in 6-kilometer track set inside the Chiba Sports Center. Unlike last year's preliminary all of the six Sohoku members are attending the race. This will be Kaburagi's debut race since he officially joined the Inter-High team. However, his stomach is going bad because of his nervousness.

Kaburagi apparently rides alone and his only motivation for riding is just to win. The whole team agreed that Kaburagi will be the ace for this race. The other members will ride to support him in order to teach him a lesson about riding as a team and Sohoku's spirit as stated in a comment in My Anime List.

At the start of the race, Kaburagi jumped ahead of the pack just like he said that he will ride on the front from start to finish. After the first curve, he ran over a small rock on the road flatting his rear tire. All of his options are against him and winning the race is far from reality. When he realized that it will be impossible to catch up, he notices that the team is waiting for him.

After the short dialogue exchange, the seniors made Kaburagi understand that Sohoku is not complete when all of the six members are not present. They also made him realize that Sohoku's style of riding is to support their teammate.

The new team of Sohoku showcased their strength where Aoyagi used his new technique Supersonic Oxygen Human Bullet Aoyagi Train which is an improved version of Tadokoro's skill. The team caught up with the leaders by the ninth lap and ultimately won the race with Kaburagi snatching the first place.

According to Blumaroo's post on Reddit, the latest episode of "Yowamushi Pedal: New Generation" also previewed the new members of the rival teams of Sohoku like the Shinkai Yuuto of Hakogaku. As for the gross team of Kyoto Fushimi, the episode featured the muscle freak Komari as the masseuse of the team.
