About the Women's All-Star Keirin G1
The Women's All-Star Keirin G1 is a closely watched G1 race featuring Girls Keirin racers selected through fan voting. It was promoted to G1 status in fiscal year 2025, and from fiscal year 2026 has been held under the name Mainichi Shimbunsha Hai Women's All-Star Keirin G1 (毎日新聞社杯女子オールスター競輪G1). Because the winner earns a spot in the year-end championship race, the Girls Grand Prix, the race is also an unmissable indicator of where the Girls Keirin circuit is headed. This second edition, staged at Sasebo Keirin, is a major midsummer showdown drawing the attention of many keirin fans.
