Section 998 Eruption

January 12, Day 11 of the Dakar Rally, 10th Time Trial.

The riders will start from Copiapo and travel east through the Andes before heading southeast to the Argentine city of Chilesito to finish the stage.

Today's journey was long, with a special stage of only 176 kilometres and a regular stage of 686 kilometres. The total distance is already close to 900 kilometers.

When you go home for the Chinese New Year, some people may have driven such a long distance, and you should know the feeling of the road. Running 900 kilometers on a paved road can be exhausting, let alone covering such a long distance on an irregular road.

It's a test of skill and perseverance, and it's clear that today's race will not be easy, and it will be a difficult challenge for all the riders who have not yet retired.

For the time being, they were still ranked first in the overall score, and Li Jingyuan and Li Xiugen were arranged to start in the first place. In the cheering of everyone, Li Jingyuan touched the corners of his mouth, as if recalling the feeling when he kissed Jessica just now, and after showing a smile, he let go of the accelerator and drove the car out of the starting point.

He was very excited when he set off, and Li Jingyuan's performance was very different from the previous day.

No amount of speed on the regular section will make the result any better, as the distance will not be counted towards the overall score at all. Therefore, Li Jingyuan did not give his best at the beginning of the competition in the first few days, and only raised the speed to the highest speed after the start of the special stage and the start of the timer.

"Has OPPA always been so fast?" Li Jingyuan's racing car disappeared from view in an instant. After seeing this situation, Jessica felt that it was very magical, and involuntarily asked Lee Hyo-ri on the side. She arrived in the middle of the night last night. Today is the first time I saw the situation at the start of the car, and of course I thought it was very new.

Shaking his head, the expression on Li Xiaoli's face was a little strange: "It seems to be different, when I set off a few days ago, Jing Yuan didn't seem to be in such a hurry." ”

Not only Lee Hyo-ri saw the abnormality, but many people also saw it. After picking up Lee Hyo-ri's words, Park Myung-so on the side also chimed in: "En." Jing Yuan's performance today seems to be different from a few days ago, and he is really stimulated~. ”

The meaning of Park Myung-so's words was obvious, and the people next to him listened to it. They all laughed and turned their gaze to Jessica.

"Huh~!" Even if she didn't know what was special about Li Jingyuan's performance today, it didn't prevent Jessica from understanding Park Myung-so's words, and when everyone laughed at her, she blushed very shyly. After snorting, he got behind Lee Hyori and pretended to be an ostrich.

"Hey~. It's still a blessing for Jingyuan boy. Why didn't anyone come and kiss me?? "The ranking is relatively low, and Liu Zaishi's starting order is also relatively late. At this time, he was still with the others, and after seeing Jessica's shy appearance, he also joked on the side.

"Just you? I don't look in the mirror either~! ”

"That's it, brother, although you are the number one, but this kind of thing can't be exchanged just by status~. Somebody has to be willing. ”

"In Shi, this is your own miscalculation. Why don't you call Jing'en too? Isn't she an announcer, but she can be regarded as an artist, and she is just qualified to participate in the event. ”

Liu Zaishi said a word, and the members of the unchallenged took on countless sentences, and the ability to coax is really not covered. Of course, it seems to be targeting Liu Zaishi, but in fact, the members of Wuxuan are just cooperating with Liu Zaishi, and they don't have to look at Jessica when they talk, obviously they are making fun of Jessica and Li Jingyuan's 'little couple' with the 'husband and wife relationship' of Liu Jae-seok and Luo Jingen.

Talking and talking, the building is crooked, no way, the members of the unchallenged are like this. Enough fun about Jessica, led by Park Myung-so, the members of the Unchallenged really burned Yoo Jae-seok this time.

"Who's going to kiss him?" I don't know how Lu Dao made trouble, but after Park Myung-so talked nonsense for a while, he grabbed Liu Zaishi's arm and shouted directly at the group of female artists. Well, Lao Pu's style is to be simple, and it is really a shot to the end.

It was quite exciting just now, this would be a real panic, Liu Zaishi didn't expect Park Myung-so to ask this sentence to female artists.

"Yah~! Brother, what nonsense are you talking about~! "Even if someone dares to kiss, Liu Zaishi doesn't dare to accept it. In a hurry, he could only yell at Park Myung-so, jumping on his feet while roaring, and his anxious appearance looked funny.

Yoo Jae-seok's interference is completely useless, even if he can stop Park Myung-so, he can't stop the other unchallenged members. Under the coaxing of several people, the atmosphere was quickly pushed to the point of 'no kiss, no kiss', and now, only one female artist is left to take the initiative to stand up.

Things have gotten to this point that it's going to be a little embarrassing whether anyone stands up or not. If someone stands up, then she and Liu Zaishi will be more embarrassed, and if no one stands up, it will make the whole scene look a little embarrassing.

From a certain point of view, the members of the unchallenged can be regarded as having a free time this time.

"I'll do it anyway." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little rigid, someone finally stood up, and when they looked at this candidate again, the members of the unchallenged were relieved.

The person who stood up was Lee Hyo-ri. After exercising in "The Birth of a Family" for so long, she has already developed a good eye, saw the embarrassment of the scene, and thought about the joints in it, she knew that she was the best person to break the atmosphere.

"OPPA, you should be proud, it's not ordinary luck to get a kiss from me Lee Hyo-ri." took out the queen's shelf, Li Xiaoli walked to Liu Zaishi's side, grabbed his shoulders and took the initiative to shout: "Ah~!" Go low, put your face over~! ”

Of course it can't be Kiss, it's just a BOBO on the cheek. In order to make the scene look more funny, Lee Hyo-ri hugged Yoo Jae-seok's head. I kissed it like a watermelon, making a loud and crisp sound.

"OKAY, GOT MY BOBO. If you can't get good grades, you see how I clean you up~! After the kiss, Lee Hyo-ri also felt a little embarrassed. In order to hide that little bit of shyness, Lee Hyo-ri slapped Yoo Jae-seok on the shoulder vigorously, and then shook a fist in front of him a few times, driving him to the car while threatening.

Seeing the two make such an intimate move, many people thought of their relationship in "The Birth of a Family". Of course, at the same time, I also think of those classic scenes that are both warm and funny, and earn 'national brothers and sisters' for the two.

"Ugh. One word comes to mind. There are a lot of things to remember, and it is very abrupt, Yun'er showed an expression that was different from others, and suddenly became serious.

"What's the word?"

"It seems that there is a 'filial piety effect', right?" Looked at Lee Hyo-ri. After a moment's hesitation. Yuna still said the word she thought of, and then continued: "Sister Xiaoli's kiss this time, maybe it's not a blessing~." ”

As long as you are on a team with Lee Hyori, you will definitely lose the game. There is such a law in "The Birth of a Family", so there is the term 'filial piety effect'.

According to this reasoning, Lee Hyori is undoubtedly a 'moldy god'. Liu Zaishi was kissed by Li Xiaoli, which is equivalent to being kissed by the 'moldy god'.

"Uh~." Soon, the others figured out the joints. After looking at Yoo Jae-seok and then at Lee Hyo-ri. Everyone couldn't help but burst into a loud burst of laughter.

"This is a blessing, it's a curse~!" "Brother, be careful~!"

In the laughter and reminders of everyone, it was finally Liu Zaishi's turn. Maybe he couldn't help but be teased by everyone like this, Liu Zaishi didn't say much, and soon drove the car and disappeared.

Li Jingyuan's departure made people feel very imposing, but Liu Jae-seok's departure made people feel like he was running for his life. Obviously, they were all the same, but they brought people two completely different feelings, and they thought it was very funny, and the gang couldn't help but laugh again.

Jessica's kiss to Lee Kyung-won, and Lee Hyo-ri's BOBO to Yoo Jae-seok, is it a blessing? Let's take a look at how the two performed during the game.

Let's talk about Li Jingyuan first.

Maybe it was to avoid everyone's sight, or maybe it was really stimulated, Li Jingyuan sped up when he set off. And in the process after that, he still maintained this state.

First crossed the Andes, and the change in altitude did not affect Li Jingyuan's state.

In a good mood, you can see everything. Running on the mountain road, looking at the ever-changing scenery, Li Jingyuan's mood has become better, and his competitive state has been improved again.

After leaving the mountains, you enter the sand dunes of Fiambara. The temperature here is already very high, and the temperature on the mountain is relatively low before, which forms a sudden contrast, and the already hot climate is even hotter.

Every driver has to endure a high temperature test here, and Li Jingyuan is certainly no exception. However, when he arrived at the Dunes of Fiambara, his state was not affected like the others, which was somewhat unexpected.

If you want to talk about the reason, it's because of the mood.

Isn't there a saying that 'the mind is calm and naturally cool', which means that if you don't pay attention to the temperature, then you won't feel hot.

In the same way, although Li Jingyuan's heart is not 'quiet' enough, he doesn't spend much energy thinking about the question of 'hot or not', he just wants to run faster, he doesn't think too much about it at all, and Li Jingyuan doesn't feel how hot he is.

It was in good shape, it was fast and it was good luck to not miss the way. In this special stage, Li Jingyuan ran a good result like a divine help. 2 hours, 33 minutes and 12 seconds is the best time achieved by Li Jingyuan in this special stage.

The 176-kilometer journey took two and a half hours, and the average speed was about 70 kilometers per hour. At first glance, this doesn't seem too fast.

Actually, don't forget, this is not a road, but the toughest Dakar rally. To be able to be on such difficult terrain. Running at 70 km/h is already a great thing.

Also, can you compare yourself with other players?

Lee Kyung-won won the stage with a time of 2 hours, 33 minutes and 12 seconds. After him. Volkswagen's De Villiers finished second with a time of 2:53:15.

In the previous race, no matter how complicated the road conditions were, the second-place finish would not be so much slower than the first-place finish. The difference of twenty minutes, which has never been seen in previous games.

There is a 20-minute gap between the second place, not to mention the people who are further down the rankings.

De Villiers was followed by two drivers of the BMW team. Horosets and Peterhansel finished third and fourth respectively on the stage.

Lee's main rivals, Volkswagen's Attia and Sainz, finished fifth and eighth respectively.

Attiyah's time was 2 hours, 59 minutes and 32 seconds. Sainz, on the other hand, was almost 10 minutes slower than Attia. In other words, in this stage, Attiah is 26 minutes slower than Lee Kyung-won, while Sainz is 36 minutes slower.

On the overall score. Attiyah after the previous day's match. It is only two seconds later than Li Jingyuan, which can basically be ignored, and it can be said that what is the gap today, and the difference in the total score is how much. As for Sainz, it's a little more, he still has a 3-minute gap before, plus today, then he is nearly 40 minutes slower than Li Jingyuan.

The gap between the top three is more than ten minutes. This is something that has never happened in a game until now.

It was his first time to participate in the competition, and he was able to lead the veteran strong drivers by such a big margin. For journalists, this is a very worthwhile story.

And in today's game, Li Jingyuan also did something that is also worth reporting.

Perhaps it was the excitement of the 'blessed kiss', or the desire to rush back to camp as soon as possible and squeeze out more time with Jessica, Li Jingyuan changed his habits, not only running incredible results on special tracks, but also running amazing speed on regular tracks.

How fast is it? After departure, it took Li Jingyuan 7 hours and 20 minutes to arrive at the camp in Chilesito. Excluding the 2 hours and 33 minutes spent on special sections, the time he spent on regular sections was 4 hours and 47 minutes.

There are a total of 686 kilometers of regular road sections, and if you calculate it, Li Jingyuan's average speed on these roads has reached an astonishing 140 kilometers or so.

That's all the cars on the highway are at that speed. Li Jingyuan's road is not a high-speed, not even a highway. Being able to run at this speed on mountain roads and dirt roads, I have to say that Li Jingyuan is really too exaggerated today.

Running at such a high speed has caused a very unbelievable result. Li Jingyuan actually returned to the camp before the logistics team of the convoy.

As mentioned before, the logistics team in most fleets will be divided into two parts. Some will leave after the riders, while others will leave early to wait for the riders at the camp.

Li Jingyuan was the first to set off, so the logistics troops of the unchallenged convoy were also the first to set off. The logistics teams of the other teams were lined up behind the pickless convoys.

There is no need to race between logistics teams. The order of departure will not change when you arrive.

Li Jingyuan is faster than the logistics team of the pickless team, so it is naturally faster than other logistics teams. Therefore, in addition to the vanguard team that set off to the camp a day earlier, among all the people and cars who set off from Kopiapo today, Li Jingyuan was the first to return to the camp.

In the past few days, reporters have always seen the logistics teams of each team enter the camp first, and the drivers will arrive one after another after a long time.

And today, before the motorcade on the highway arrived, Li Jingyuan, the driver who walked the track, arrived first. At first, they felt strange, and then they quickly understood, and these reporters waiting in the camp of Chilesitto were frightened by Li Jingyuan.

Did you take a shortcut? Is it a foul? Didn't you pass through a waypoint?

The reporters immediately began their investigation, and after about ten minutes, they got a reply from the race organizers - car 399 had a valid result and no foul penalties.

Hurry up and interview, and be sure to ask them what they are doing and how quickly they will do it. No matter which country they come from, the reporters all have the same idea, and they want to interview Li Jingyuan for the first time, what is the reason why he has made such a good performance.

Before the large army of the unchallenged convoy arrived, no one could massage Li Jingyuan and the others. Anyway, they were idle and had nothing to do, so Li Jingyuan and Li Xiugen did not refuse the reporters' requests and accepted the interview temporarily.

Riders need to take enough breaks to stay in shape. The reporters also understand this, and naturally they also know that Lu Dao can't entangle Li Jingyuan and the two for a long time.

If you don't have enough time, you can't wait in line to ask questions one by one. The reporters invisibly reached a tacit understanding, and they all gathered together and asked the two of them a few questions that everyone wanted to know.

When the logistics team of the unchallenged convoy arrived at the camp, they happened to encounter such a scene, looking at the group of reporters around the gate of their camp, a few girls from their teenage years couldn't help but feel strange: "Who are those people?" Why are you here? Isn't this our camp? (To be continued.) )
