TEAMS

50 years of history, and still ready to take on a new challenge!
Based in Aichi Prefecture, this traditional team is entering its 21st year as a UCI Continental Team.
It continues to compete actively on the UCI Asia Tour and has recorded several stage victories at the Tour de Langkawi, one of Asia’s premier stage races.
New arrivals this season include all-rounder Yuhi Todome, who finished third on the final stage of the 2023 edition, proving he could compete alongside world-class riders before moving to a WorldTeam the following year; Hijiri Oda, the Japanese national cyclocross champion who won the mountains classification last year; and Shunya Amiji, winner of the individual road race at last year’s All-Japan Intercollegiate Championships.
For the sprints, veteran Hayato Okamoto will rely on his trademark speed.
He demonstrated his ability at the 2023 Hita stage, finishing fourth from the front in the main bunch.
Also watch promising young all-rounder George Matsui, as well as Rui Udagawa and Kazuto Minami, who have begun achieving good results in races both in Japan and overseas.
