In order to achieve good results in sports, in addition to training, it is nutrition, and finally it is physical recuperation and recovery. Excessive training and exercise will only make some muscles overtired, like last year, Zhang Yuan, who is not used to a lot of training, resulting in mental tension and muscle fatigue, coupled with mental uncertainty, will cause a mountain collision accident, which will cause him to be injured.

Since professional nutritionist Leo closed the "strongest bicycle shop", all the team's training plans must have relevant procedures to match, with muscle rest and nutritional supplements, so as to get mental relief and physical replenishment. The mental state of the bike in the race, which has been maintained in a positive mental state for a long time and continues to be positive, ensures that the racing results of the RUSH riders can develop at the most consistent level for a long time.

Zhang Yuan, who used to be a master of the uphill slopes, has now improved his personal qualities to become the champion of road races and urban narrow roads.

He has never had an innate advantage in the flat road race, everything is nurtured, including personal interest, will concentration and perseverance and the guidance of famous teachers, only by constantly working hard to exercise, can there be such good results. All successful people, there has never been a pure luck to get, no preparation, even if the opportunity really comes, you will not be ready, so you have no ability to get, that is, lost the opportunity.

Zhang Yuan, since childhood, knows that opportunities are never easy to come by, not only to cherish, but also to learn how to make the best use of and give back to others, only unselfish cooperation and support, in order to win the individual competition and one team championship after another.

Xu Xiaoyan has grown a lot taller recently, her muscles are also strong and developed, and her complexion is white and red, and she has a little more sunny temperament. Perhaps, it's because she also participated in the "Rush" cheerleading team and support clubs, and she also began to love bicycles, of course, Sam's burning admiration eyes are what she felt, but... Everything about Zhang Yuan is where her heart lies. At least, this moment is still the most important.

In addition, Suzy has been a guest at Xu Xiaoyan's home for the past six months, and has also studied sports nutrition and cycling mountain training in the "Jin Chong" club, and Suzy has honed stronger muscles and endurance than when she was "invigorated" in Hong Kong.

Her uncle, the nutritionist Leo Kwan was also surprised, and her father felt that it was not a bad thing for his daughter to live in peace, and her daughter learned a lot of knowledge that she could not learn in "Zhen Yang", such as managing the team, the team's finances and the business cooperation with sponsors, etc., and she also began to understand and learn to communicate with companies in business negotiations.

Suzy's father was thinking in his heart that it was not a good thing for his daughter to accompany the nerd Zhang Yuan, it was better than following Huang Futao. In addition, her daughter's recent bicycle racing results, whether it is road racing or cross-country racing, have greatly improved in all aspects, and it seems that the future business of the Cai family and "Zhenyang" will be absolutely no problem to be handed over to her daughter.

Therefore, after half a year of off-semester, the Cai couple only came to Heping twice, and then did not come again, because he trusted his daughter, and also trusted his friend Leo, who could teach his daughter better.

Looking forward to the completion of the school break, his daughter will be healthier and more energetic, and of course, he is very confident in his daughter's race in the T18 class of the Hong Kong cycling road race.

In fact, Cai Sheng, who was young at the time, was also the top three in the triathlon races of cycling, swimming and running in Hong Kong. Of course, in Hong Kong, everyone who knows about triathlon will only remember the king of the three ironmen, "Lee Chi Woo", but Alan Tsai was not a fuel-efficient lamp back then, and her daughter also played triathlon since she was a child, so her body will be so strong and her endurance will be so good.

Today is Saturday noon, and in the strongest single car "Che Dou", the professional team and the members of the three teams of Group T gathered in the conference room to listen to Wong Keung, Mrs. Wong and Leo introduce the next race and the details respectively.

Huang Qiang introduced the next race, and Huang Qiang was used to clearing his throat and said: This is a new race, which is very interesting and comfortable, that is, the Taipei/Xinbi City City Road Race, and a week later, the other one is our focus this time, Alishan Road Mountaineering and Cross-Country Race.

Date: February 23, 2012 (Taipei New Taipei Race) and March 2, 2012 (Alishan Race, Chiayi, Taiwan), Huang Qiang will introduce the details of these two competitions.

1. Taipei/New Taipei City Road Race

Starting point: Starting from Wulai Township, New Taipei City, arriving at the end point, at the gate of Tamkang University, Tamsui Town

Journey: 150 kilometers, through Wulai Township, Bitan Bridge, Xindian Creek, Jingmei Avenue, Taipei South District, then Beitou, and finally to Tamsui.

Features: 1/3 of the mountain road, 1/3 of the super fast road and 1/3 of the city street, which is known as the most perfect race.

So, we have to stand up and win one of the six categories (3 for men and women) and the individual championship in the individual and team competitions.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhang Yuan and the four of them effortlessly. This year's sponsor is the 10th anniversary celebration of the grand clothing group and their brand "Nai Zhan" sporting goods store in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and they have given the "strongest bicycle shop" the condition that they win at least one team championship and one individual championship in Taipei's two major cycling races.

If both events win an overall championship, this year's grand sports will give the "strongest" sponsorship of 30 million yuan, only one competition champion is 10 million, if you don't win any awards, the annual sponsorship will only be 1 million. Can't report all the expenses to the grand (accommodation, food, drink, etc.)

Therefore, if we don't have a team championship and individual championship this time, Hongda's performance this year is not good, they are not happy, plus the ten weeks of celebration, their boss's face can not step down, the performance of listed companies will also regress, if profits are reduced, shareholders and shareholders will take action, investment banks and private funds will also go crazy. So, our pressure is actually very great...

Many people don't understand what the hell Huang Qiang is talking about...

Then it was Mrs. Huang's turn to say: Everyone is the number one imaginary enemy of all professional cycling clubs in the country, and everyone has been under heavy pressure. But we are also the nation's cycling hope, the Olympic gold medal hope, and the biggest hope for the Tour de France championship dream.

Since we are the leading team in the country, we are naturally the goal and focus of everyone, remember what I said? "If you eat salted fish, you will be thirsty."

Therefore, this time we have to try our best to win the overall team championship and individual championship in each category. Moreover, as a Chinese, it is necessary to promote your prestige in your own country, Taiwan's "Dongwei" team has declined to a second-class team, without the local snake of Dongwei, "Jinchong" as China's hottest and hottest cycling team, it is our responsibility to win the championship.

We must not lose to the United States, Britain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Japan, South Korea, the seven major cycling countries, because we must be on the land of Taiwan, to show everyone, the hard work and quality of Chinese athletes, very hard-working, I have this determination, do you have? To be the first in the country, exhaust all the fleets. The emotions of the colleagues present are heating up, and the mood has become high.

Mrs. Huang then said: We want to use excitement to win all the championship awards in Taipei/New Taipei Championship, can you?

Everyone unanimously replied: Yes, we will do it!

Finally, it was Leo's turn to explain the requirements of the competition, and he proposed a strategy based on the characteristics of different groups and individual characteristics. This strategy is a combat plan revised by Huang Qiang and his wife.

Taking T18 as an example, Zhang Yuan is the leader of the first 50 kilometers, and then, if the second place is also the person in this group, whether it is Ah Man and Sam, they will replace Zhang Yuan's position, and on the urban section from Taipei to Beitou, so that Zhang Yuan does not have to rush forward, make a full return breath rest, and Ah Man or Sam will rush through the Beitou section, and then George will maintain an average speed to take the lead and lead to the Tamsui MRT station.

Finally, Zhang Yuan rushed uphill for 5 kilometers in the last uphill section, and the other T18 team members were close to the back, and they all rushed to the end of the gate of Tamkang University as the goal.

What the T18 team members must learn is how to control consumption and retain physical strength, and can only sprint hard in the first and last stages, and win on the uphill and downhill sections, which is the winning strategy this time.

On the morning of February 16, 2012, Hong Kong International Airport, cycling clubs from Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Zhen, Sichuan and other provinces, as well as Hong Kong and Macau, jointly chartered a flight to Taipei.

Long-lost opponents, such as "Good Charm" and "New Force", their competitors from all categories gathered together in the noisy waiting room and duty-free shop inside and outside the airport. Only the riders of RUSH and BOOM were in a state of great silence. Perhaps, accustomed to being a king, they all have a royal demeanor to show people.

After getting off the plane, different convoys went to different hotels to rest, "Jinchong" and "Zhenyang", under Leo's arrangement, the tour bus went straight to the Wulai Hot Spring area. Leo booked a Japanese-era hostel that was both old and quiet.

Hot springs have always been the best way for Leo to get athletes back in shape. Maybe it's Leo's personal prejudice, but the two major cycling teams he takes care of are trained and fed according to his wishes.

The male and female team members also like the comfort brought by the hot spring to eliminate physical and psychological fatigue. The next day, the captains of each team conducted observation and test training according to the original plan. Relaxed mood practice, a little cold in Taipei (around 16 degrees Celsius, Wulai in the mountains, the altitude is high, only 12 degrees Celsius) This is both dry and cool, which is the most suitable for cycling races.

On the day of the race, the Wulai Mountains ushered in a little monsoon and light rain, probably because the sea breeze blew to the mountain residence and was cold, and the weather report did not say that there was fog and rain in Taipei today... A group of riders in Guangdong, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, including the group of "good charm" riders, are doing strong warm-up exercises to keep warm.

After several days of hot spring water washing, the "Jinchong" and "Zhenyang" riders seemed to be fine, no one shivered under the cold rain, no one needed to do extra warm-up exercises to consume physical strength, and the light rainy morning with a temperature of about 10 degrees Celsius did have a great negative effect on the representatives of the Lingnan region.

But if you look closely, the Japanese riders, the South Korean riders, and the Dutch riders, as if the weather is the same as usual, in their country, the winter is like this, and there is more rain and snow and cold. For their riders, Taipei Bird Come, it's already a very warm climate.

Therefore, "Zhenyang" Cai Sheng said to their (Zhenyang) group of drivers: Today's opponent, if only Chinese, is only a team of "Jinchong". Barely adding a pair of local head snake teams, the first team is the "Miao Tao" Riders' Federation (Hakka riders' organization in Miaoli and Taoyuan); The second team is Taipei's Yangmingshan Bicycle Club, and the other opponents are the representative teams of Japan, South Korea and the Netherlands.

Therefore, the drivers of "Cheer Up", don't let unimportant competitors affect our pre-race planning and execution, we have to play against real opponents and win against them all, which is our goal. Remember our pre-race strategy?

All the drivers of "Zhenyang", including Huang Futao, are also shouting here, Huang Futao is chanting the same lines, shouting the same hard, and will not be complacent because he is the ace of the ace in the team. Because, in his eyes, he only has Zhang Yuan, a stupid boy, and only his acquired efforts can activate the potential that he has with his innate and acquired talents.

His world is the overall winner of the Tour de France, and nothing else matters.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose a game, the most important thing is that the higher the world ranking, the more capable you are to participate in the Tour de France, and I want to be another Yan Shitang

In the last 5 minutes before the race, all drivers are ranked according to the team's seed number. The guests were in front, so the first team was the Netherlands, then the German Bavarian cycling team, then Norway, Great Britain, Finland, France, Spain, Belgium and Italy, and the first team we forgot about Switzerland, followed by the United States, Canada, Mexico and South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

They were followed by Japanese, Korean and Chinese mainland runners, so "Jinchong" and "Zhenyang" were in the third round of the starting line. Among them, ZHENYANG is the top two in the competition for JINCHONG, while the Songshan Cycling Club from Macau and the Kaipyeong cycling team from North Korea are both ranked ahead of JINCHONG.

In the last 30 seconds, each driver focused on the LED digital display on the starting line, the number was very large, every second, everyone's heart jumped, and finally countdown 10,9 8...7,6...A certain Olympic gold medalist's right hand was raised, holding a rifle, ready to 5,4,3,2,1,0.Boom and set off.

The first horse is naturally the Dutch team, the road of Wulai is difficult to walk, the mountain road is narrow and has many hairpin bends, which is the characteristic of the mountain road in Wulai Township, the hillside is not too steep but easy to pulley (occasionally the road surface is a little dew to form a transparent thin layer of ice), so the degree of danger is quite high. In order to avoid collisions and slips and slippery rain, each driver is extremely careful and keeps the speed within the range that can be effectively controlled.

There are only two people, who are not afraid of death, and rush forward and again at the beginning. That's right, they are the two ace drivers of "Jinchong" and "Zhenyang", Zhang Yuan and Huang Futao are sprinting, ignoring the terrain and environment, they are really two crazy people.

From the starting point of Wulailaka Road to the site of the Guishan Hydropower Station, Huang Futao had already left the Dutch rider behind, temporarily first, and the second was the Dutch driver Mark. Davis, the third is the Japanese driver Masashi Saito, these two old rivals can't help it, and they want to go crazy with Huang Futao and Zhang Yuan...

Fourth, it is not Zhang Yuan, it is Taiwanese driver Shi Zhengda, and the fifth is Belgian driver Feng Zhengda. Peter, the sixth is Zhang Yuan, followed by Ah Man and Sam. This is the location under the screen of the TV, but according to the statistics of electronic chips and GPS navigation, the first is Huang Futao, there is no doubt; the second is Masashi Saito, with a difference of 4 seconds; The third is Martin. Davis, 4.8 seconds apart; The fourth is Zhang Yuan, with a difference of 6.7 seconds.

The opponents of the past are still the same opponents today, not only if you have a good dietitian and medical team, but also that others can control it, and even have better talents to support it, this is the championship under the commercial competition.

Huang Qiang has been watching the bicycle team he has built with his hard work in the leading position, and then looking at the atmosphere here, it is like a very happy carnival. Since more than 20 years ago, when commercial sponsorship supported sports competitions, the results of major international competitions have been completely out of the business of individuals and cycling teams.

Rather, it is a sport surrounded by the marketing strategy of a multinational sports brand, stock price, value and interests. On the planet, as long as there is a sport with a large audience, there are major international events, and no sport is an exception.

All behaviors are sales in charge, only the champion of the competition, can enjoy the greatest benefits, at the same time, but also make the bicycle will be burdened with huge psychological and financial pressure, this is the real meaning of sports competitions now.

That's how business games are played, and it's the same with bike road races, where everything is calculated by experts and the unpredictable risk factors are minimized.

All funding for this Taipei/New Taipei City Cycling Race comes from commercial sponsorship. Huang Qiang feels that the benefits that can be obtained by "Jin Chong" are no longer as simple as before, so the success of today's success will determine their future financial and development.

Back to the scene, Huang Futao has been taking the lead, Bitan Suspension Bridge is in the upper right position of Huang Futao gradually getting bigger, becoming clear, walked 50 kilometers, Huang Futao still took the lead, the first echelon of 4 people, the position has not changed, the rest of the echelon of riders have not changed, no one cares at all, and no one cares.

From Xindian District to Jingmei, it is a very good straight road, and then enter the water source area of Taipei City, and then go to the fourth section of Roosevelt Road next to National Taiwan University, turn into Xinsheng South Road, enter Zhongxiao East and West Road, go to Zhongshan North Road, cross Jiantan, enter Shilin to Tianmu District, and soon go to Beitou, then go to Tamsui, and then go to the end of the gate of Tamkang University.

The top four drivers are in the chase, with Ah Man and Sam about 10 seconds behind the four, and theoretically they have little chance of getting into the top three, barring an accident to the top four.

If this result is followed, it is inevitable that the T18 team will win the championship in this team competition. (As long as George doesn't lose too much and have an accident)

The first rider was almost at the Tamsui MRT station, and the last five kilometers were up a gentle slope, which was a very comfortable road for even professional cyclists. Zhang Yuan is exerting force, Masashi Saito and Mark. Davis is also chasing with all his might, maybe it's talent!

Gradually, Zhang Yuan has been close to Huang Futao, in the last three kilometers of the GPS system statistics, Zhang Yuan has surpassed Huang Futao by 0.2 seconds, and Huang Futao also clearly understands in his heart that the side-by-side line means that he will lose. Therefore, he has to forge ahead, to be more efficient and faster...

100 meters before the line, Huang Futao with the position of the first half of the wheel, the last 10 meters, this distance has not changed, the line is a moment, Huang Futao is 0.075 seconds faster than Zhang Yuan...

On the podium

Huang Futao did not stand in the first position, nor did he put on a yellow suit; Zhang Yuan didn't step into the first position, but he put on a yellow suit. Saito Masashi also looked at Zhang Yuan with an unconvinced face, a feeling of both Yu and Liang.

However, the real show is the Alishan cross-country road race in Chiayi next week!

Zhang Yuanjun, I want to challenge you, my third position is your position next week, and next week's yellow jersey is also mine.
