On January 3, 2013, Zhang Yuan received a WeChat message from Sam, who said: Come to the store in the evening, Leo is in Paris, France, and we are going to have a video conference to talk about this year's Tour de France. Zhang Yuan replied: Hmm!

At 8 o'clock in the evening, in the large conference room of "The Strongest Bicycle Shop", Huang Qiang, Mrs. Huang, Sam. Aman, and George were already waiting, and Zhang Yuan was the last to arrive.

The video conference is divided into three places, Paris, Taipei and "Jinchong", Leo is in Paris, and Taipei is Mr. Yang. Leo said first: Today's French Cycling Association gave me news that Eagle Mountaineer's mountain bikes, off-road bikes and road bikes can all be used to participate in the Tour de France, which is good news. We are also the first Chinese bicycle company to be included in the Tour de France.

Mr. Ying Yang said: It is really good news, as soon as this news is released tomorrow, it is guaranteed that the stock price of Ying Yang will rise a lot, Huang Qiang and Mrs. Huang heard that the stock price of Ying Yang will rise, they are also very happy, because they have several 'balls' Eagle Yang stock (one ball represents one million, the term of Hong Kong people).

The meeting continued, Huang Qiang said that the recent team situation and competition results are the top three teams, and T18 is the three teams of "Jin Zhenchuan", which almost occupies the top three positions in the bicycle competitions in Asia. And this year, which is also the first year of T21 for these three teams, can participate in the adult race (also pro).

Last year, our drivers only went to France for three days, and after watching the Tour de France for two days, we were not like "Zhenyang" and "Kawaguchi", their ace drivers, who could be the Tour de France escort drivers. So, we are "rushing" drivers, we are basically rookies in the Tour de France, and you all know that at last year's sponsor meeting, Mr. Yang, you were there at the time, and you also understood our difficulties.

Mr. Yang said: I fully understand the situation and difficulties of your "Jin Chong", so I did not force you to hand over the results, and our attitude towards "Jin Chong" is: this year's Tour de France, you do what you think is the best is enough, and Eagle Yang has sponsored the tournament for two years.

Even if the other three sponsors withdraw from the sponsorship, we at Eagle Yang will definitely have the strength to be your sole sponsor. Financially, you can rest assured that you can do your best. This year and next year, we will only care about the growth of the Tour de France, not trophies and results.

For T21 drivers who have just stepped into the 18-year-old, even if it is the first place of the day, it is theoretically impossible and impossible for a rookie to win any awards, even if it is a one-day result. Leo also said: I completely agree with Mr. Yang's words, don't expect any rankings and awards in the Tour de France this year and next year, just try the Tour de France with the mentality of being an escort.

Last year, the "Cheer Up" rider joined the Taiwan "Ziqiang" team to learn from the experience of the Tour de France.

Well, I'd like to tell you about our plans to participate in the Tour de France this year, of course, not to win a prize, but to gain enough experience, this year's Tour de France starts and finishes on the French island of Corsica, still next to the Arc de Triomphe on the Champs-Élysées, but this year's track is more special, with the addition of some islands (the first three days in Corsica) and the Swiss Albias track.

The total length of the race is 3,404 kilometers, so the average daily race for 21 days is 162 kilometers, and the flat road/highway accounts for 45%; 50% of the mountain roads are slopes; City streets account for 5%. So, it's not like we don't have a chance to fight for the king of the mountain and the king of the sprint for a day or two, the problem is that we can only choose a one-day fight to knock out our opponents.

Even though he's the number one driver in the world, we're going to knock him out, so how to choose the most special part of the road to win the medal is the focus of today's meeting.

Leo said: The section of the Pyrenees, the westernmost part of France, close to the Andorran mountains, is also the ninth day of the race, which is remembered as the ninth day.

Leo continued: I have found two places in China with similar latitudes, climates and the same mountainous areas, namely Chifeng in Inner Mongolia and Benxi in Liaoning.

Huang Qiang, Mrs. Huang, and Mr. Yang, I didn't expect Leo's homework to be so detailed. Because, they haven't been to either place, but Leo seems to be familiar with it.

Huang Qiang said: Leo, when you come back, let's go to these two places to inspect and see which one is the most suitable, of course, we have to wait until the snow melts in the spring, the local weather begins to dry and the days are long and the nights are short, and then we go to training.

After the video conference, Huang Qiang wrote the names of the people who participated in the Tour de France in the conference room: main riders and mountain riders:

Zhang Yuan (18 years old)

Sub-Main Driver & Captain: Sam (18 years old)

Driver 3 & Sprint Rider: Aman (18 years old)

Escort Drivers: Angkor Jr., George, Chu Tsai, Ming Tsai and Nobita (23, 18, 24, 22, 23 years old)

They are all people who first knew Zhang Yuan, watching Zhang Yuan grow up like a brother, plus more than 5 years of cooperation and understanding, so that Zhang Yuan's growth has become the most well-known rider in the country and the main ace rider of the Tour de France today.

No one questioned Zhang Yuan because he was the youngest, including Sam. You must know that when Zhang Yuan did not appear in RUSH, Sam was the most talented and potential driver of RUSH, but compared to Zhang Yuan's talent and hard work, he was also willing to settle for second place.

Sam of "Jin Chong" is also the only one who is not the main driver but also the captain of this Tour de France, because Sam's leadership and temperament are far higher than that of the nerd Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan is also willing to obey Sam's command and dispatch, because, from the past T15 to today's T21, Sam has always been the captain, not because he is Huang Qiang's son and became the captain, but because of his talent, skills and vision.

Other riders such as Little Angkor, since the first day I saw Zhang Yuan, I felt that he was not a thing in the pool, and today's strongest bicycle shop has really become the strongest cycling team in China, just because of the appearance of Zhang Yuan, which is also the reason why Little Angkor, the captain respected by all riders, is willing to be one of Zhang Yuan's escort riders.

Because, Zhang Yuan is like his own brother, and the township relationship with the same city and township has made Xiao Wu have a sense of pride in his hometown and the strongest bicycle shop. He has been wearing a sportswear of "Jin Chong", which means that he is persistent in this local feeling.

The other escort drivers, all because of the appearance of Zhang Yuan, have expanded their lives and visions infinitely, if Zhang Yuan did not join the T15, how could they play in the Star Horse region? Don't you want to travel east to Japan and Taiwan for international competitions?

There is no lucky star Zhang Yuan, "Jin Chong" is extremely large, but the number one team in the Hakka area, is to join Zhang Yuan, in just five years, the "Jin Chong" team has been a frequent visitor to the podium of the domestic cycling league and a number of championship record holders.

In their lives, they never thought that they could turn their love of cycling into a career. Now, they each have their own personal fan groups and personal Weibo and public accounts, these celebrities have the same things, things they never even dreamed of can be achieved one by one, it is because of Zhang Yuan, a nerd, that is, because of his hard work and luck.

Today, Zhang Yuan is going to challenge the world's most important cycling race, the Tour de France 2013. Last year, 17-year-old Zhang Yuan was not called up to the national cycling team for the Olympics, and no one of the "Jinchong" riders was selected for the national team.

On the other hand, in addition to Huang Futao, who was not selected for the Hong Kong Olympic cycling team because of his participation in the Tour de France, a total of 3 different types of riders were selected for the Hong Kong Olympic team and 1 rider was selected for the Macao Olympic team.

Therefore, the limelight of "Jin Chong" for several years was suddenly caught up by "Zhenyang". Therefore, in both public and private circles, they want to use their limited youth to compete with the world's top riders in the Tour de France, and let them know and see that the "Rush" team from the mountains will be your strongest opponent in cycling in the next 10 years.

Huang Qiang's words entered everyone's ears again, and Huang Qiang continued: At the beginning of April this year, we went to Chifeng in Inner Mongolia and Benxi in Liaoning Province for training, and this training camp alone is far from enough. Therefore, I decided that we will start on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year after the Lunar New Year to prepare for a 22-day training race, with an average of 170 kilometers per day, starting from Heping, going to Zhanjiang, going to Nanning, then back to Guilin, back to Wuzhou, south to Zhuhai and then to Shaoguan, and then back to Heping, a 3,500 km doubtful Tour de France.

Zhang Yuan raised his hand at this time and asked: Coach, if there is only one team, is it monotonous? Also, we don't have Tour de France experience, so if there were some experienced teams racing with us, wouldn't it be more effective for us to practice? If you agree, I'd like to invite the riders of "Cheering" and "Kawaguchi" to participate in the race, what do you think?

Mrs. Huang saw that all the team members were full of eagerness, and naturally looked at her husband, Huang Qiang smiled a little at the corner of his mouth, and said: Okay, Ah Yuan, you come to arrange and invite them to come to the game. Zhang Yuan said: Okay, thank you for accepting my opinion.

With these two strong competitors coming to the race and working part-time as free instructors, the benefits for each "rush" driver are far better and more effective than those who are blind in their own way.

The meeting officially concluded

Zhang Yuan immediately sent an e-mail to the car club to which Masashi Saito and Huang Futao belonged, hoping that they would participate in this practice race.

By noon the next day, Zhang Yuan received email replies from Japan and Hong Kong, both of whom would send their line-up of drivers to participate in this year's Tour de France. Masashi Saito said privately on WeChat Zhang Yuan: If he wins, he wants Suzy to be his girlfriend.

Zhang Yuan replied: It's up to you to see what you're capable of, *_*!

When Zhang Yuan sent out the news in the WeChat group that "Zhenyang" and "Kawaguchi" had accepted the invitation to race, the "Jinchong" riders were grinding their fists, stealing teachers, learning and trying their best to compete in the doubtful Tour de France practice race.

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year in 2013, this quizzy competition was officially launched, and how much experience Masashi Saito and Huang Futao could absorb depends on their own Huigen.

Every week, Yingyang will record their results as information and hand them over to Huang Qiang and Leo for assessment, and they plan and update the weekly training content.
