The Oita Urban Classic Road Race brought another opportunity for KINAN Racing Team to race through the streets of Japan in front of passionate cycling fans.
While the team did not finish on the podium this time, the race delivered something equally meaningful—the opportunity to compete on public roads surrounded by supporters cheering from the roadside.

Racing in Front of the Fans
Road racing is about more than the final result. The atmosphere created by spectators can transform a race, giving riders extra motivation as they push through every kilometer.
For KINAN Racing Team, being able to race in front of so many supporters at the Oita Urban Classic was a memorable part of the experience.
The team expressed its appreciation to everyone who came out and supported the riders throughout the event.
Thank you to all the fans who cheered from the roadside.
Eyes on the Tour de Kyushu
With the Oita Urban Classic complete, attention now turns toward the next challenge: the Tour de Kyushu.
Rather than dwelling on the missed podium, the focus is on regrouping, recovering, and preparing for what comes next. Each race provides another opportunity to learn, make adjustments, and return stronger.
The upcoming Tour de Kyushu will give the team another chance to put that preparation into action and continue fighting for strong results.
On to the Next Race
The Oita Urban Classic may not have ended with a podium, but racing in front of passionate fans made the experience one to remember.
Now, it's time to reset and prepare for the next starting line.
Next stop: Tour de Kyushu. 🚴🇯🇵
