This year marks 2013, the 100th anniversary of the Tour de France. It's been 100 years, and it's a memorable day, and this year has the most riders in the history.

On June 26, the "Vibrant" Huang Futao arrived in Puerto Vecchio, and he sent a WeChat message to Zhang Yuan, asking him to chat at Soufflé Coffee Shop in the center of Puerto Vecchio in the evening. Zhang Yuan happily went to the appointment, it turned out that Huang Futao did not come to Soufflé Coffee Shop alone, but also brought a friend that Zhang Yuan hadn't seen for a long time - Suzy.

Suzy is a little taller than half a year ago, if Zhang Yuan doesn't grow taller, soon, Suzy's height will be on par with Zhang Yuan.

It has been three months since I heard from Suzy, not that Zhang Yuan forgot Suzy, but that the training camp ordered him to cut off from Suzy (the terms required by the sponsor). But he knew that Suzy had not forgotten him, and Zhang Yuan had not forgotten Suzy either. Zhang Yuan only hopes that after the competition, they can meet, and by the way, give Suzy a gift that he got in France (Zhang Yuan hopes to win it back, but if there is no prize, he will use the money to buy one in Paris), celebrate her birthday on August 12 (18 years old), Zhang Yuan hopes that his achievements and happiness can be disappointed, and everything can be shared with Suzy.

The person he loved sat beside him, and Zhang Yuan became a nerd again. At this moment, Suzy and Zhang Yuan's eyes made eye contact with each other, and when they saw him for the first time, they were in a daze again. Suzy was thinking, if you are photographed by a reporter, the wonder boy Zhang Yuan turned out to be a love nerd...

The three of them chatted together in the coffee shop, talking about the recent situation in the past few months, and nothing but the Tour de France matter, any topic would cause everyone to laugh. Huang Futao is no longer a COOL MAN, he is more friendly and talkative than before, and it is a very pleasant party.

After that, Zhang Yuan went back to the hotel alone, humming his favorite love songs along the way, humming and humming, and then went to the hotel lobby, just Xu Xiaoyan and Sam were together, as if they were waiting for Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan first said Hi...

SAM SAID FIRST: WHERE DID YOU GO? We are all looking for you, and you don't reply to the WeChat?

Zhang Yuan replied: I went to the Soufflé coffee shop near the starting point with Huang Futao to chat.

Xu Xiaoyan asked: Is it really Huangfutao?

Zhang Yuan said: Of course it's him, and... Without further ado, I'm going to take a shower, good night.

Xu Xiaoyan said: Don't run so fast, okay? But Zhang Yuan ignored it and went straight to the elevator door.

Sam said: I... I'm going to chase him back...

Xu Xiaoyan said: No need, my love is not to be returned, what I want is to treat my people with sincerity. Sam, do you understand?

Sam blushed and replied: I.... I understand, I understand everything you say, I remember everything.

Xu Xiaoyan smiled and said: Why are you blushing? I asked you to accompany me to ask Zhang Yuan, Young Master Huang! It's not for me to make you blush, you're so useless as a captain, you can't even control a member of the team who has violated discipline...

Sam said: Ah Yuan didn't foul, he reported it to Leo and Boss Huang.

Xu Xiaoyan said: You are really a pig, ignore you, I will go back to my room to rest, you should also rest early, we came to Corsica to win the Tour de France, not to talk about the love between men and women, you know? My handsome captain, bye-bye!

At 10:15 a.m. on June 29, the first day of the 2013 Tour de France was held in front of the Grand Plaza in front of the Municipality of Porto Vecchio, a seaport city on the Mediterranean island of Corsica, France. There are 2,000 drivers from all over the world, with a total of 250 different teams (eight people per team), and 90 countries and regions send teams to participate.

The opening ceremony was like a carnival, with no competition (except for the drivers and team staff).

In the penultimate minute, the drivers were ready and waiting for the moment to fire.

The 100th, 3404 kilometers of the Tour de France bicycle race began, Zhang Yuan seemed to have no soul to follow the team, because there were too many riders, and he was not in the first grade, so he naturally walked with the flow.

Leaving Porto Vecchio, you head south to your first destination, Bonifacio, a short distance of 21.5 kilometres, but the narrow road up the hill is also steep, which is not a problem at all for drivers who are just starting the race. Therefore, the riders all completed the first leg of the race at high speed. Once in Bonifacio, it's time to head back (but on a different stretch), steeper and more difficult mountainous terrain, to reach the highest point of the first day, where the Scotta Climb is then downhill back to Porto Vecchio.

Today's finish is Bastia, where the first day of the 213-kilometre race was completed.

Zhang Yuan represents the joint team of "Jinchong" and Yingyang Bicycle Manufacturing Company, and the result is ranked 68th in the team standings, which is a remarkable achievement if you take the team to participate in the Tour de France for the first time.

This was the first time that "Zhenyang" participated in the competition under his own team name, with a score of 78th and "Kawaguchi" ranked 103rd.

Leaving Corsica and entering the most beautiful city of Nice (NICE), when the third day of racing was over, Huang Qiang asked the drivers to go back to the hotel immediately to rest, he also drank red wine in the hotel room with sea view, and held a meeting with his wife, Leo Guan, and Yang Zong to discuss the results of the first three days of racing and the state of the drivers.

Mrs. Huang spoke first: The results of the first three days of the race were 1.5% faster than the average results of the rehearsal, which is not very good, but the three main drivers have improved by 2%, which is something to be excited about. From the airport to the hotel in Nice, our spirit is also very good, as for the results, husband, you can tell me!

Huang Qiang is still used to clearing his throat first: on the first day we were in 68th place, on the second day we were in 70th place, and today when we reached the third stop in Cavli, we were in 59th place overall, and we deserve a round of applause for them.

Leo said: Each rider is very physically functional, emotionally positive, and there are no abnormal performances. After listening to the brief report of the three people, Mr. Yang first touched the red wine glass with Leo and Huang Qiang, took a sip of red wine with a smile on the corner of his mouth and said: The result is better than I imagined, and it is much higher than the ranking of Taiwan's "Ziqiang" team last year. Ha! How is this year's "Cheer Up"?

Lao Cai and Lao Zhu (the two bosses of "Zhenyang") were forced by the American boss of YIKI to use their ultra-light high-carbon steel and aluminum alloy chariots, and the results will not be better than ours, right? He looked like he was asking himself...

Mrs. Huang said: "Zhenyang's overall results from the first day to the present three days are indeed worse than ours, but I think the quality of the riders is different, as for the quality of the bike, Huang Qiang has tried to ride, and the requirements are very strict, frankly speaking, it will not be worse than Yingyang's.

Huang Qiang added: "The weight is 90% of our Eagle Lift car, and the tightness of the chain is also better than ours. Mr. Yang listened to it and immediately called, it is estimated that he was going to call the Taiwan headquarters to find out the chief engineer, Mr. Yang called Huang Qiang with gestures while calling his mobile phone.

Huang continued: As for the results in the next 18 days, we are confident that in the final race, RUSH RUSH can win BOOM and we will concentrate our firepower on a section of the middle of the Pyrenees. Hearing Huang Qiang say this, when Mr. Yang returned to Taiwan Yingyang, he could answer truthfully in the board of directors, and suddenly, Mr. Yang always frowned a little tightly, and finally could relax, Mr. Yang smiled and said: The nervous collapse of the brow will be handed over to the three of you and the drivers.

The Marseille section of the Tour de France, the Montpellier section, the ALBI section, and the bus ride to CASTRES to start again.

From CASTRES to AX 3 Domaines, it is the first leg of the Central Pyrenees mountain section, the first of the seven most difficult sections of the Tour de France. Today, the King of the Mountain Suit has appeared, in addition to the yellow suit, the King of the Mountain King Suit is known as the most courageous and strongest representative suit. The yellow jersey is a dream for all cyclists, and today is the first day of the Mountain Race, and the Rush riders are looking at the mountaineering and incline abilities of elite riders from all over the World League.

Tomorrow will be the world of "Rush".

The Pyrenees have not always been very high, and it is a natural dividing line between Spain and France. In the middle, there is a small country with beautiful eyebrows, and it is also the country where many WeChat people place their addresses here - Andorra.

Ever since the "Jin Chong" cycling team trained in Zaragoza in the Western Pyrenees in May, Zhang Yuan has fallen in love with the mountains. He loved everything here, from morning to sunset, from dusk to early morning.

Practicing in the Pyrenees made Zhang Yuan grow a lot and mature a lot. Today is 195 kilometers of uphill slopes, the Eastern Pyrenees, and he wants to see the performance of those kings of mountain madness in Europe and the United States, and then determine tomorrow's strategy.

The section from CASTRES to AX 3 Domaines has more than 10 kilometres of descent, followed by more than 60 kilometres of incline to the finish. Today, there will be the best sprint king in the downhill and uphill more than 20 kilometers, and after that, it will be the time when the first king of the mountain will be killed.

In addition to getting to know the opponents on the first day, the team focused on the race, and the next six days were all about looking at the strengths and weaknesses of those drivers. Generally speaking, before reaching the mountainous area, the riders performed very well, like Zhang Yuan's veteran Feng Yuan. Peter's Belgian team, von Fernandes. Peter entered the race as the second main driver, with the Belgian finishing in the top 10 overall.

In addition, another little king in Europe, one of Zhang Yuan's friends, Mark. Davies's Dutch team was even better, finishing seventh. But today is different, the mountain road slope, the Dutch team that is accustomed to sprint on the flat road is useless, compared to the Belgian team, their mountainous area, training enough, Zhang Yuan estimates that the Dutch team's total results will be caught up by the Belgian team.

As for BOOM, BOOM should have a better result than RUSH. Before the morning race, Zhang Yuan proposed to SAM a strategy to use softness to overcome rigidity, so that others would underestimate us (of course, referring to the feeling of the average team and driver, for "Zhenyang" and "Kawaguchi", any strategy you "rush" is useless, because Huang Futao and Saito Masashi, as well as Feng. Peter, Mark. Davis and Jamaiyan Rubis. Zhang Yuan, who seems to be a nerd, is definitely not stupid, and knows him more about the worst environment track, the more he can show his different talents and abilities).

All the tricks of "Jin Chong" to confuse opponents are useless to old opponents such as "Zhen Yang", but for 90% of other drivers, the best team in China turns out to be a weak division on the mountain, and "Jin Chong" wants these strong opponents to have such an illusion.

People are very strange, they don't care too much about what they say, what they write in the media, what they see in TV videos, and they don't take it too seriously. Always based on your own actual judgment. Therefore, "Zhenyang" let go of "Jinchong", and "Kawaguchi" also passed "Jinchong", which felt normal in the eyes of other riders, and the "Jinchong" rider was small and naturally did not have good physical strength, and it was the most normal thing to be passed by opponents up and down the mountain.

But Huang Futao and Masashi Saito don't know what the hell Sam is up to? But they never underestimated this old opponent, because the strength and rush of "Rush" did bring them too much victory.

Reach the AX 3 Domaines finish line, 195 km, three-time winner in a row, Simon from the United States. Lyle. Nigauson, who crossed the finish line in first place, is the king of the mountain mania, the king of the sprint and the first place, the first king of the three statistics.

Sam's RUSH finished 158th and finished 91st in the team standings over eight days. Naturally, Mr. Yang understands, but the boss of the board of directors and the fund manager of Eagle Group do not.

On the estate of a farmhouse in Saint Girons, the riders rest early in the morning. The six-hour time difference drove Taiwan's Ying Yang board of directors and other stakeholders crazy, and Mr. Yang's tired eyes and smile were telling Huang Qiang and his wife and Leo that the three of you had better be careful when you talked, otherwise it would be better to have you.

The video conference was simply a criticism conference, and the Wong couple and Leo had no explanation, and they were bombarded by private fund managers on the board. They say all the swear and dialects you can hear, they want results, and whatever strategies you say are all nonsense, they want results.

Perhaps, although the quiet farm is large, the noise of Chinese quarrels is also world-famous.

The meeting had been noisy for 20 minutes, and Huang Qiang and the three of them were in the large living room of the farm, when they suddenly saw a person walking in. Cold, expressionless. He is Zhang Yuan, no one does not know the wonder boy of the Chinese cycling industry, and he is also the most prominent representative of the bicycle industry, he walked to the camera, said 14 words and left, the meeting immediately calmed down, Yingyang CEO Yang always saw the good and announced the dismissal.

As for what Zhang Yuan said? 14 words made the board of directors of Yingyang immediately shut down, and those 14 words were:

If you say one more word, I'll quit and go to YIKI.

is very absolute, representing Zhang Yuan's calmness and understanding of the opponent, whether it is on the bicycle battlefield or the office battlefield.

The seven brothers outside the hall raised their right female fingers together, knowing their intentions without making a sound, and also understanding Zhang Yuan's tactics today.
