A Potent Lineup Capable of Toppling Higher-Ranked Teams
A Japanese Continental team currently leading the Asia Tour as of late August 2025.
They actively participate in European races, often competing evenly with higher-ranked pro teams.
Kai Kobayashi achieved back-to-back national championships this year but simultaneously announced retirement.
The team remains strong despite this vacancy.
Alessandro Fancellu, overall winner of the Tour of Japan, placed third overall in the Czech Tour in August, showing world tour-level ability.
Nahum Zelaia, who impressed with his climbing on the Fuji stage, is the national champion of Eritrea.
The team has depth with riders such as Simone Raccani (2nd overall TOJ) and Nicolo Garibbo (mountain classifications in Czech Tour and TOJ).
Japanese riders are all top-level, including former national champion Daiki Yamamoto, veterans Naruyuki Masuda, Yuma Koishi, Manabu Ishibashi, and young riders Koki Kamata who have European racing experience.
Attention is on how they will compete against WorldTeams in Kyushu
