Midousuji always says "Gross!", but why does he do so?

For example, a scene where he says "Gross".

Why does Midousuji always say "Gross!"?


He seems disgusted by everybody that competes with fighting spirit, or with
beliefs of friendship, for the team goals, self awareness, etc. It seems (as
his point of view) that he rides a bike for the pure joy of win and all the
other thoughts are superfluous to him.

In some of the later episodes, he shows empathy for the second climber of the
Hakone Academy (Manami), because of this reason and Onoda in the image you
showed is trying to reach his team to help them in the future obstacle (the
next climbing zone), and he seems to enjoy himself, smiling at full throttle,
because riding is fun, and that's gross!
