Chapter 138: The Journey (3)
and his teammate and another legendary driver, Mayoni, who died at the Dakar in January '05. These two are my favorite drivers who have lived up to the promise they made to their beloved motorsport! So they are immortal in that land of eternal rest......
......
A rugged journey that stretches for thousands of miles, leaving behind hundreds of eight-handedness who are extremely fanatical about motorsports......
A faint song of life that resounded for 24 years, leaving behind 243 immortal heroic souls......
A desert that has been silent for thousands of years, with a faint disdain and contempt for the mundane world, looking down on the passers-by who gallop from its bosom year after year......
This is Dakar, a place of dreams, fiery and even somewhat bloody and cruel, a place that belongs only to the truly brave, those who dare to face the most vulnerable places in their lives......
......
When the calendar turned to the last page of 03, Lao Ye and his team finally completed the final preparations before participating in this Paris-Dakar rally. Standing in the snow of Paris, France, Lao Ye had time for the first time to carefully examine the city that women all over the world yearn for. Beside him was naturally Gu Lin, who was wearing an orange racing suit, and the girl at this time let her long hair fly in the wind, accompanied by the falling snowflakes. The girl is like a beautiful elven princess in this silver world. Now Ye Feng and Gu Lin's eyes are focused on the starting platform of this event not far away, and the 25th Dakar Rally will kick off here in a few hours......
"Kaede-chan. Today's weather is terrible! Are you nervous right now? Gu Lin, who was staring at the starting platform, let the snowflakes fall on his long eyelashes, and asked Ye Feng lightly. During this time, the two of them trained very hard under the supervision of Romario, and even had no time to think about what kind of state they would be in to finish the competition that would start soon, or whether they could finish the competition. And when the girl really wants to open a new page in her racing career, she feels that she may not be fully prepared psychologically.
"Frankly, I'm a little nervous right now!" Ye Feng didn't look at Gu Lin next to him and said to himself, through dozens of days and nights of getting along and hard training, the two of them have cultivated an extraordinary tacit understanding. Watch the constant flow of traffic and people coming and going at this starting point. Of course, Lao Ye was a little nervous, but when he wanted to say something more, Břideg's deep English voice sounded behind him (Da Z can understand Chinese, but most of the words are spoken in English. )
"Hey! You two, there's nothing to be nervous about! Don't you notice that Uncle Rory has been secretly having fun every day lately? To be honest, he's very happy with both of you! Of course, this is only from the point of view that you are new. "Big Z is such a virtue that has nothing to do with him when the sky falls, in fact, he has put in a lot of effort to train in order to participate in the competition, and now the biggest obstacle in front of Big Z is the two-time Russian steel combination of Chaguen and Savistian, it is said that these two Russian ironmen drove their own trucks every time they insisted on finishing the race and winning the championship with a bumpy coccygeal bone crack. Its terrifying willpower can be seen from this.
"Hehe, don't talk nonsense, you kid, who said I was secretly happy?" The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and Da Z is eavesdropping on the conversation between Ye Feng and Gu Lin. And Romario is eavesdropping on Big Z. The old man also rarely appeared in front of everyone with a smile, and it seemed that the bad weather in Paris did not affect the mood of this old man who had not been on the international stage for a long time.
"Uncle Rory, you can't deny it! Last night I also heard you talking to a couple of old friends you had met in the rally before
Kaede's! You also bet them that the two of them will finish the race! The sneak attack made him blush, but he stubbornly retorted.
"Yes! The best-case scenario I can hope for is that they will finish the race normally! In fact, I don't think they can even do that! Romario was now back to his old seriousness.
"Hey! Wait a minute! Uncle Rory. How can you underestimate both of us so much? Anyway, this car is good for me to modify by hand? It's good that Gu Lin and I have been partners for so long! Finishing the race shouldn't be too difficult, right? Ye Feng didn't agree with the conversation between the two people on the other side who "belittled" him and Gu Lin's level so much, but in the end, Gu Lin, who knew more than Lao Ye, a guy who didn't know the sky, still hurriedly dragged Ye Feng, because the girl knew that the completion rate of each Dakar was only a little more than thirty percent, and the most realistic goal for the two of them was just to complete the race.
"Hehe, Rory! These are the two little ones you talked to us about last night? Just when Lao Ye just wanted to argue with Romario with a red neck, several drivers wearing blue racing suits and carrying helmets came from a distance. One of the older bald foreigners said with a smile in English, while the other rider, who was about 30 years old, smiled and looked at Gu Lin and Ye Feng in the snow. The eyes are full of the faint pride and calmness of the strong man who looks at the world.
"Well, that's them......" Romario smiled and nodded at the two of them when he saw that they were acquaintances. However, his words were quickly interrupted by a scream from Gu Lin.
"Ahh You...... You guys...... Are you Sean Cotter and Mayoni? It's a miracle! Can you sign it for me? I really like you guys! You are two great legends here! Gu Lin said excitedly in English to the two of them at this time, took off his helmet, took out a pen, and respectfully handed it to the two people opposite.
Gu Lin's voice even frightened Lao Ye directly, to be honest, Lao Ye had never seen Gu Lin, who was usually as calm as water, have such a gaffe and excitement today. Now Lao Ye has to re-examine the two foreigners in front of him who look bullish but are not a big deal. Mayoni? Seincott? I'm sorry! He hadn't heard of it!
"Holy! Plug Boss! What do you think is wrong with Gu Lin? I've never seen her like this! Are those two foreigners awesome? No matter how awesome you are, can you and Schumacher be awesome? Feeling that Senna's emotions in his body also fluctuated a little, Lao Ye asked the car god in wonder. In Lao Ye's understanding of racing, there are undoubtedly only two people who are worthy of the most awesome word, one is the current car king Schumacher, and the other is the boss of Sai who has been with him day and night for more than a year.
"Hehe, you kid!" Senna was amused by Lao Ye's stupid words, and said helplessly, "Motorsports is divided into fields!" Rally is rally and formula is formula is! Each different field has its own geniuses and kings! What's more, what you just said is not right, I am not the best person in F1, I am not as good as Michael and Fangio in terms of the number of championships, and now I only hold the record on pole position! And I'm afraid this record will be broken by Michael soon!
Let's talk about these two people on the other side! The bald and older one among them was Mayoni, who was the motorcycle group of the Dakar in 0203..: Army! And the slightly younger one is the 99 and 2000 BMW two-time motorcycle champion Seincott, it was he who broke Peterhansel's monopoly on the motorcycle group, and his switch to the KTM team this year undoubtedly increased the strength of this ace team! And now KTM can be said to be the Ferrari of F1, and their position in the Dakar motorcycle group can be shaken! ”
