Chapter 31 The Last Stop
When I woke up at 6:00 the next morning, everyone, including Leo, Mr. and Mrs. Huang Qiang and the staff, slept well and saw that the table in the hall was covered with food and a hearty breakfast. There was an extra champagne glass on the side of each person's cutlery, and it turned out that Leo had informed the farmer last night that he had prepared a local specialty.
Leo said: This is a local specialty, sparkling apple juice, with sparkling apple juice instead of champagne, I wish that before the first rest of the Tour de France, "Rush" can get everything you want, many times, it is not interesting to say it too clearly, everything is in plain sight.
With the sound of the bottle of steamy apple juice being opened, everyone was tenacious, as if the game had ended.
Saint Girons to Bagneres de Bigorre, 168.5km stage, day 9.
Today, which happens to be Sunday, July 7, the National Sports Channel will broadcast today's event live.
It turned out that everything was in Zhang Yuan's calculations, the 77 incident, Sunday, the 100th anniversary of the Tour de France, the race on the last day before the rest day, the mountain ramp stage, plus last night's sentence to settle the board of directors of Yingyang, it turns out that Zhang Yuan is not a nerd, Zhang Yuan understands people's psychology very well!
Sam sensed that Zhang Yuan was no longer a driver, he was already an observant, calculating, and introspective person.
These qualities are all extraordinary, he is like a magician, the nerd Zhang Yuan is just a surface that is seen, his calmness and determination
Broken is more mature than I am.
On weekdays, our attitude towards the competition is basically the same, so I don't feel that Zhang Yuan is a very assertive person, and I understand his respect
Emphasize my boss's strengths.
Zhang Yuan didn't feel the change in himself, he just wanted to use the best method to get his favorite Mountain Mad King suit. This is
His biggest goal in the Tour de France this time, he fully understands, overconfidence and overestimating himself will only lead to a lot of loss
Miserable, step by step, is the road to steady victory.
At the beginning of the game, Zhang Yuan had already rushed forward with all his might, and the super-large LCD TV screen in the Heping Zone Gymnasium broadcast the ninth station of the Tour de France
Duan, more than 10,000 and civilians came here to watch the game, but there was no Chang family, because they were all in Paris, on the hotel TV
Watching Zhang Yuan's performance, the audience in the venue shouted and screamed while watching Zhang Yuan's brave performance.
Leaving the small mountain town of Saint Girons, it is a narrow hillside road that goes up and down, the sun is already fierce on the morning of July, Zhang Yuan has already brought the sports sunglasses given to him by Suzy before the start of the game, after wearing them, he is really a stylish and handsome man, without a bit of nerdy feeling.
168.5 kilometers of race, only about 500 meters of the track is a flat road, the rest of the 168 kilometers are up and down the mountain foot strength competition, Zhang Yuan's primary and junior high school classmates (of course, referring to the football team and track and field team members) all remember his nickname, 'strong King Kong legs', is to describe his amazing foot strength, after so many years, no one thought that his leg strength is more powerful than before.
I don't know Zhang Yuan's group of European and American drivers, I thought that the Oriental boy was crazy, and he went crazy at the beginning of the race to grab the first, and I didn't see you rushing like a madman when I went up the mountain yesterday.
You're going crazy at the beginning of the day, see how long you can get it? These experienced European and American riders have not yet come to their senses, and they have been passed by two more drivers, one of whom is Japanese and the other is from Hong Kong, and the Japanese driver's name is Masashi Saito; The Hong Kong driver is called Huang Futao.
In recent years, the two of them have been defeated by Zhang Yuan many times, and for this reason, they have each looked for a good way to solve their own problems. Saito found a Japanese monk to learn Zen enlightenment to improve his spiritual power, and in the past three years, he has achieved a little success, and he has been the king of cycling in Japan;
Similarly, Huang Futao went to India alone to learn yoga for half a year, and in the past two or three years, he has either practiced cycling or yoga. Today, it is the three tigers of the East in the bicycle world, and they have divided into a battle of superiority.
Live TV sports channels in the United States and Europe are reporting that on the ninth day of the French cycling race, the first three riders are from China, Japan and Hong Kong, all 18-19 years old. This sentence really shocked the global sports world, not only bicycles...
The terrain on the east and west sides of the Pyrenees is not much different, and the sunshine and mountain breeze in summer are not much different, so for Zhang Yuan and the "Jinchong" drivers, the special training in the Pyrenees is more important and crucial than the training in Chifeng and Benxi.
Zaragoza's warmer temperatures and lower humidity (drier) were habitual for most European riders, but for those in the East and the Southern Hemisphere, the relative humidity was too low to make the riders itchy and uncomfortable.
But for Zhang Yuan, a hard-working buffalo, the dry climate is the driving force, and his big buffalo is heading towards his wetland, which is the end of the station.
Around noon, most of the riders had completed nearly 60% of the race, and Zhang Yuan had already thrown the second-placed Masashi Saito more than 60 meters away, and against the Emperor Futao, it was even closer to 70 meters. About 30 meters behind Huang Futao is the favorite of this Tour de France, an American cyclist, and a national champion in cross-country and road cycling. Simon. Lyle. Nigauson.
He, 29 years old, was the overall winner of last year's Tour de France and the overall champion of the previous edition. His yellow jersey represents that he has been the king and most important rider of all cycling races for several years, and his book is one of the top 10 bestsellers in the United States. In addition, the results he obtained from participating in competitions have improved the quality of life of his teammates, and he is also a supporter for many out-of-school children in Africa. In short, Nigauson's merits and character are not accepted by anyone in the cycling world. But today, Nigauson is facing a tough opponent from the East for the first time in eight years of his career. Not one, but three.
On the afternoon of July 7th, in the French Pyrenees, the crowd also felt that the mountain madness duel competition was being staged, Zhang Yuan attacked in this section with the attitude of leading the front, and Masashi Saito and Huang Futao gradually narrowed the distance between the three. It's not three but four who close the distance, and he is this year's favorite - Nigauson.
The record of the 120-kilometer monitoring point is as follows, Zhang Yuan rushed through it in 5 hours, 17 minutes and 42 seconds, Saito in 5 hours, 18 minutes and 3 seconds, Huang Futao in 5 hours, 18 minutes and 7 seconds, and Nigauson in 5 hours, 18 minutes and 19 seconds, the distance of the top four drivers in 40 seconds.
Nigauson's stamina and stamina began to show and explode in the last 20 kilometers, Zhang Yuan always thought that his endurance was unmatched, but he did not expect that an American who was 10 years older than him could compete with him at 150 kilometers.
Zhang Yuan thought, I have reached the final stage of 15 kilometers, and I have already led 150 kilometers, how can I give you this battle suit of the king of the mountain? Zhang Yuan calmed down and continued to ride his bike as he wished.
Masashi Saito and Huang Futao also didn't feel discouraged by being beaten by the World Champion. On the contrary, it arouses their potential, and it also means that they have the potential to be the number one in the world, and they can challenge this position and title, at present, it is only a matter of time...
At the same time, these two good friends and good rivals sincerely encourage and wish Zhang Yuan to defeat the world's No. 1 Nigausun. Even if there is only one victory in this game, it is only a victory in one day and one moment. Because that's the glory of every driver. Do your best to win.
After 163 kilometers is a small downhill section, and Nigauson plays the origin of his nickname of the mountain madman, which is the acceleration without braking technology on the narrow downhill road. In general, drivers will only do this if they are most familiar with the car (they ride in their own cars) and know the road section they know best and there are not many drivers; However, the origin of the Nigauson maniac is that he knows that if this opportunity is missed, he will lose the opportunity to lead his opponents, and I, Nigauson, have always been a decisive creator and a gambler in bicycle races.
I want to win, and I want to take the polka red and white spotted suit other than the yellow suit for myself.
There are so many madmen in the world, and Zhang Yuan, who is in the Pyrenees, is used to being a mountain madman. So, when you, Nigauson, go crazy, I'm going to be with you too, even crazier than you. Because, the madman Zhang Yuan's target today is the polka red and white suit!
Therefore, this downhill slope did not widen the distance between the two, only abandoned Saito and Huangfu slightly farther away, and do not forget that the three Oriental tigers are all crazy, and only the same driver like a madman is worthy of the title of the king of the mountain in the Tour de France.
In the last 1500m race, Zhang Yuan and Nigausun jingle the horse's head to win, counting today's GPS data, Zhang Yuan is three seconds ahead of Nigausun, of course, we no longer consider the cumulative results, because the gap between the two teams is too big, there is no comparison, and no one will compare.
The ninth day of the competition, this day is too important for Zhang Yuan. For Zhang Yuan, it is very important to be the first in the country, and it is more important to be the first in the team than the first in the team. And today is a day that all Chinese will not forget, and Zhang Yuan hopes that this 77 can bring a little happiness to all Chinese. Therefore, he wants to win Nigauson not only today's total time, but also the first person to cross the line to bring happiness to all Chinese.
ARRIVE AT BAGNERES DE BIGORRE, THE FINAL STOP IS THE BUS STATION IN THIS SMALL TOWN. 380 meters of flat straight road and more than 1,000 spectators are waiting for the emperor to come.
At a glance, Zhang Yuan was passed by Nigausun over half of the parking space, but Zhang Yuan is also one of the sprint kings of the same age in Asia, and the sprint king green suit of the competition has always been the goal of Aman's life, it seems that I Zhang Yuan is going to borrow it this time, I'm sorry, Aman, I'll give it back to you next year.
Zhang Yuan's smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he stood up and leaned forward again, and his pedal was increased to the fastest speed, and he rushed towards a place where 200 meters was not enough...
The two of them seemed to cross the line together. Obviously, with the cumulative results in a single day, Zhang Yuan won, will he have two clothes?
The competition will take Zhang Yuan to the ambulance station first, in addition to his fear of cloth results requiring a urine test, more importantly, his face is not good-looking at all, very white, and people are also fighting. At the time of the physical examination, Zhang Yuan was lying on the bed, he was trying to rest, and his heart seemed to be a little unable to withstand the load for such a long time. In short, Zhang Yuan's heart had palpitations. A doctor will be called in and no first aid will be required, but an overnight observation will be required. Zhang Yuan was resting and sleeping.
The doctor said to Leo, Huang Sheng, Huang Tai and Sam, who were waiting: The results of the urine test, Zhang Yuan PASS, the results have been handed over to the competition, and today's results will be announced soon. In addition, Zhang Yuan was a little overtired and had microvascular bursts in his legs. Personally, I think that for the sake of Zhang Yuan's future, it is best not to give him any more competition.
At this time, the anchor of the competition said in French English: Today's king of mountain madness is Zhang Yuan from China. In addition, today's sprint king is also Zhang Yuan, who is faster than Nigauson in the final 300 meters. Yingyang's Mr. Yang and others, including sponsors, friends, opponents, etc., their congratulatory calls came immediately, and Leo, Huang Qiang and his wife had to answer dozens of different calls, and it was difficult for them.
Soon after, Suzy found Zhang Yuan in the medical room of the competition, and she asked the nerd, you have burst microblood vessels in your legs, and you will not be able to move for the next three weeks, do you want to quit the competition? Luckily, you got today's two suits, the Sprint King and the Mountain Mad King, which are much better than you expected, what else do you want you to let go, nerd?
Zhang Yuan quipped: Can I drink alcohol when I am sick?
Suzy poked her head out the door and asked the doctor in French, Doctor, Boire? Finger Zhang Yuan again? The doctor smiled and nodded.
YEAH! We can drink... But you can't drink it until tomorrow.
Zhang Yuan asked Suzy, can you accompany me to the Kasbah Hotel in Zaragoza to recuperate, until the day of the completion of the Tour de France, we will go to Paris to meet Sam and Huang Futao... Suzy didn't answer this sentence, but heard Huang Futao say: No.
Zhang Yuan and Suzy were both taken aback, and they were very worried and doubtful why Huang Futao said this!
Huang Futao smiled and said: No, these three words are on behalf of our Xu Xiaoyan girl, since she is in Paris, and you can't participate, you can have a long and happy romantic trip to the castle with my junior sister Suzy, Suzy, BON VOYAGE (Chinese is all the way smooth)!
HUANG FUTAO, WHO IS USED TO SPEAKING FRENCH, SAID SOMETHING GOOD, ESPECIALLY TO TELL THEM TO HAVE A SMOOTH JOURNEY ON VOYAGE.
Sam also came at this time, knowing that Zhang Yuan and Suzy were going to go to Zaragoza tomorrow to recuperate, and he was so happy to bless them, as for the game, Sam said: Nerd, you can concentrate on resting, just like you did in Bama Township, Guangxi three years ago.
But this time, we won't let Xu Xiaoyan go to Zaragoza to find you, I will ask her to stay with me in Paris for a few days.
Sam continued: "Ah Yuan, you have a good sleep, we will fly to SAINT NAZAIRE tonight, and tomorrow is a rest day.
We are also going to reorganize the arrangements after your departure, you lucky and happy fellow, and we will see you at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
Huang Futao took Suzy away, and Suzy gave Zhang Yuan a light kiss on the face when she left.
Sam said again: I'm jealous...
Suzy said: Please hurry up and catch up with Xu Xiaoyan, you can also enjoy her kiss, Sam ran away with a red face.
Suzy continued: A stupid pig with well-developed limbs has a rare good opportunity, and he doesn't try to chase Xiaoyan.
That night, the people of "Rush" took a special plane to the next leg of the race.
