This race is one of more longest Asian races with 13 stages and hight altitude like 2000~4000m with climb stage, each GC winner is a very good climber.
Our goal is to win the GC as made in some previous races, so I wish to continue like this as long as possible for team.
And for this race I would like to focus in Japanese riders to make good place and more with our team play again.”
