Tour of Japan

SHIMANO RACING TEAM(CT / Japan)

シマノレーシングチーム

大阪・堺の自転車部品メーカー、シマノが持つ歴史ある名門。ミスター全日本の異名を持つシマノレーシング生え抜きの野寺秀徳監督がチームを率い、27歳の入部正太朗選手がキャプテンを務める。歴史的には国内最強メンバーを揃える強豪チームの期間が長かったが、近年は若手育成を掲げるデベロップメントチームとして活動。2016年はそのコンセプトをしっかりと体現し、木村圭佑選手が頂上決戦の全日本選手権ロードで3位に食い込んだ。今年も若いメンバーが多く、初日の堺ステージはチームのお膝元でもあり、地元ファンの前で積極的な走りが期待される。
