The KEIRIN Grand Prix will be the winner of the first G1 race and the top players in the prize ranking, and will participate in the event to determine the annual bicycle race champion.
Kotoshi competed at the bicycle race track in Tachikawa City, competing for the championship in seven rounds of a 400 meter bank.
In the race, the oldest 43-year-old Sato, who was the oldest competitor, pulled the lead group from the beginning, and Yuta Wakimoto, who is expected to acquire a medal at the Tokyo Olympics in the remaining two laps, came to the top from the back Stood.
However, Sato, who was behind Wakimoto, came out just before the finish and won the race.
The second was Wakimoto and the third was Yasuda Hirahara.
Sato achieved his first championship in his fifth Grand Prix appearance in 13 years, and his fifth place in the prize ranking, winning over 100 million yen in prize money, was the first prize king.

A portion of the proceeds from the race will be donated to the NHK Health and Welfare Corporation and used for welfare activities.
