Almighty Athlete Chapter 436: Dark Horse 207
Zhang Guan glanced back and found that the other drivers had already caught up.
For this result, Zhang Guan is not surprised. Team cooperation in the Tour de France can bring great help to drivers. For example, this fast ride in the second half, other teams are all "rabbit" drivers. Riding under the lead is far easier than riding alone. In particular, the leaders of the various teams have no load along the way, and the supplies are all on the teammates, and the physical energy consumption is much less.
In the Tour de France, a certain race has reached the final stage, and the front row will always be the team’s main player, because their physical strength is the most abundant. At the same time, the main players will not see a large distance when they see it. The first few people who crossed the line may only be a few seconds away.
A Tour de France will take four or five hours, and the distance will be more than 200 kilometers. Imagine that it took four or five hours to ride more than 200 kilometers, but the final score is only a few seconds, and even You can see a large group of people sprinting together, which may be the charm of Tour de France.
Zhang Guan is a lone war, so it will lose money in the second half and will be caught up by other drivers, but when the "rabbits" have given up their positions, everyone has become a lone war, and they have to eat by themselves. At the time, Zhang Guan had no disadvantages.
The Zhang Guan is ahead and within the horizon of the leading group, but it is difficult for the dozen drivers of the leading group to narrow the gap with the Zhang Guan.
"Did you catch up just now? Why can't you catch up now!" Schreck of the Luxembourg Cheetah team frowned slightly.
"We've started to sprint with all our strength, but we haven't narrowed the gap. It looks like the guy in front is also sprinting with all our strength!" Crowden of the US radio team looked ahead.
"The last ten kilometers are over. Now let’s see if we can hold this breath! The guy led by the Belgian Lotto should have exhausted his physical strength! He is riding alone, and his physical consumption is more than We are much older." Rogas, the Spanish mobile star, stared closely at Zhang Guan in front of him, waiting for the moment when he slowed down.
"I am about to enter the climbing stage, and there, I must go over!" Evans always held his breath in his heart, and he knew very well that the last 2.2 kilometers would be his only Opportunity.
The last 2.2 kilometers is the only climbing section of this stage.
This climbing section is located in front of the end, the distance is 2.2 kilometers, the gradient is 4.7%, this is a four-level climbing section, according to the rules, different grades of climbing sections, the climb points obtained by the drivers Also different. The person with the most points for climbing will get a red and white spotted shirt, which is a symbol of the Tour de France climbing king.
The 4th grade climbing section is the lowest grade climbing section and has the least points, which can only be regarded as better than nothing. But after a 190-kilometer fast ride, even the lowest grade of four-season climbing is a burden for many drivers. This short 2.2-kilometer climb is likely to open a gap of more than thirty seconds.
The top-ranked person in the Tour de France must be a hill climber. In the Tour de France, it is rare for a driver to get both a cedar and a green shirt at the same time, but a cedar and a spotted shirt at the same time. It will be more. Huang Shan represents the first overall score, and the spotted shirt represents the first climbing score, but they can often have both.
This is also closely related to the characteristics of cyclists. After all, bicycle is a human-driven movement. The more labor-saving the section, the smaller the speed difference. A few kilometers of flat sprint, a good sprinter may get a ten-second lead; a few kilometers of climbing, a good climber can get a lead of more than 1 minute. With this trade-off, drivers who are good at climbing hills will also perform better.
Evans has won the runner-up of Tour de France for two consecutive years. His climbing ability is no less than those of climbers who specialize in scoring points, and his sitting technique is also considered to be a road cycling sport. A very representative technology.
Even before reaching the uphill, Evans has begun to exert his strength. His powerful climbing ability has been exerted, and the opponents in front of him have come to the top of the leading team.
"Zhang Guan, you wait for me!" Evans looked forward, at this time Zhang Guan had entered the uphill section.
"Who will be the champion of the first stage?"
"It may be Contade! Contade is the defending champion and has won the Tour de France for two consecutive times!"
"You guys watched, here! Not Contad, but the driver of the Belgian Lotto!"
"Whoosh!" With the cheers and applause of the audience on both sides of the road, Zhang Guan flashed by.
In the final sprint, the drivers will definitely try their best. Even on the uphill section, the speed will exceed 60 kilometers. Under such fast conditions, the drivers still wear goggles, and the audience on both sides of the road can’t see clearly. The face of the rider. They only felt that when the figure was shaking, the driver had already crossed over in front of their eyes, and then left a back view, but some people with sharp eyes had already seen the number behind the driver.
"No. 207! The No. 207 driver of the Belgian Lotto team, find out who it is!"
"Let me see, Belgian Lotto, No. 207, wrong, you are wrong, my driver list here is only No. 198, where is No. 207?"
"I read it right, it's really No. 207!"
"There is no 207 in the list of drivers announced at the Kesai Club!"
These spectators only briefly puzzled for a few seconds, the leading group has arrived here, such as Evans, Rogas, Horner, Gilbert, etc., are also well-known drivers, there are many on both sides of the road With their fans, the surroundings were soon shrouded in shouts.
"Can't catch up, really can't catch up!" Evans looked at the front, and now he has entered the climbing section, but the gap between him and Zhang Guan has not narrowed, Evans estimated, This gap is about 15 seconds.
"The gap of 15 seconds, there is only a little more than a kilometer left, and it is impossible to catch up!" Evans' eyes flashed a desperation. He knows that when Zhang Guan crosses the finish line~IndoMTL.com~ he will become the laughing stock of the entire professional cycling world.
"Sorry! I don’t really lack that one hundred thousand euros. Why did I go to Zhang Guan yesterday? I really have nothing to do with it! If I knew this result, I would never be so arrogant yesterday. It’s a big word. It’s good, I’ve seen Zhang Guan in my life and I can’t stand my head up!"
At this moment, Evans finally began to regret it. The pride in his heart had been wiped out by Zhang Guan. A professional bicycle driver, who scornfully despised others, was caught by the other day. After the explosion, and still in the Tournament level competition, Evans, although thick-skinned, can't wait to find a hole to drill in.
The other drivers also have different ideas.
"Who is the guy in front of the Belgian Lotto team? The climbing speed is so fast, I can’t even catch up with him. It seems that today’s champion is none other than him! A black horse popped out!"
"Not Van Den Brock or Gilbert. When did such a character appear in the Belgian Lotto? In time, maybe it will become another Evans!"
"Dark horse! I didn't expect such a dark horse to appear in the first stage of this year's Tour de France! The man's number seems to be number 207! The dark horse of number 207, I remember you! Once I got back to the finish line , Be sure to see who you are."
"No. 207? Why is this number awkward to say so! No, there are only 198 participating drivers. Where did the No. 207 come from? Where did the No. 207 dark horse come from?"
