Chapter 457: Stalemate

Du Ke and Wang Zhen continued to chase the riders in front of them, and Hong Kong rider Chen Jiawen kept a certain distance to follow Du Ke and Wang Zhen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Towards the end of the first lap, Douc jumped over an obstacle and spotted his target.

The target is not one person, but four riders. Two Japanese riders in white jerseys, Kenta Koyama and Kohei Yamamoto, rode at the front, followed by Kazakhstan's Yurimov and Iran's Aradou.

Duke holds the handlebar with his right hand and makes a "1" gesture with his left hand behind his back, a bit like tactical sign language between teammates in volleyball.

Du Ke is indeed playing tactical sign language, and he conveyed a meaning to his teammate Wang Zhen behind him: hold back the big move first, and then break out and overtake later.

Wang Zhen understood, maintained a moderate cadence and followed Du Ke, accumulating energy to prepare for a shot.

Iran's Aladu looked back and saw two Chinese riders in the same jersey behind him, the Persian had a brave and aggressive blood flowing in his body, and after Aladu rushed through a section of the root road, he struck first, and he was about to blow Yurimov and the two Japanese in front.

Yulimov, from Kazakhstan, has been riding horses since he was a child, but when a mining team came to his hometown, the environment deteriorated due to over-exploitation of mineral deposits, and the grasslands were sobbed, so Yulimov switched to riding a horseback and riding a bicycle.

Yulimov found that Aladu was starting to make a move, and the Kazakh, who was in third place, made a quick choice, and Yulimov was also ready to make a move, and he was about to blow up the two Japanese riders in front of him.

At this time, the first lap of the trip ended, and Kenta Koyama and Kohei Yamamoto were the first to return to the starting area, ready to enter the second lap.

Outside the lane of the departure area is the area where the support groups of each team are concentrated. The coach of the Japanese team shouted to the two Japanese riders: "Watch behind you!" They're close! ”

Kenta Koyama and Kyohei Yamamoto were not panicked, and the two of them collectively accelerated, changing the highest gear and advancing rapidly, instantly widening the lead.

The coach of the Chinese team was also commanding on the spot, and Director Zhu shouted at Du Ke and Wang Zhen: "Grab a round ahead!" ”

Doucle's hips left his seat and he rode forward. Wang Zhen saw Du Ke's action and also rode to follow suit.

The situation was similar to when we first started, except that the number of drivers vying for position was changed from 35 to 7.

Yamamoto Kyohei and Koyama Kenta rushed to the front, Aladu and Yurimov were five or six meters behind and were in hot pursuit, Du Ke and Wang Zhen were about to catch up with Aladu and Yurimov, and Chen Jiawen was a little behind in seventh, but more than 100 meters ahead of eighth place.

These seven are the first group, and they all have a chance to grab the top two spots in the final position, after all, they have only just entered the second lap. This is the Asian Championships, not a commercial invitational event, and the seven drivers in Group 1 all want to get their tickets to the Olympics, and they will not give up until the last minute.

The dirt road lane behind the starting area became narrower and narrower, and Du Ke and Wang Zhen overtook Aladu and Yurimov in a frenzy, but they were blocked in front by the two Japanese drivers and could not continue to overtake.

There are still 100 meters left on the dirt section, and the width of the lane is only enough for two cars to run in parallel.

Kyohei Yamamoto and Kenta Koyama rode side by side in the front, and they implemented the big method of slotting, and the riders behind couldn't overtake no matter how fast they were.

The rules of mountain races, including road races, are like this, whoever has the ability and skills to get stuck will be stuck, provided that they are stuck in the middle of riding. You get out of the car and put your bicycle in the middle of the road, and shout: I drove this road, and I planted this tree...... This is not allowed.

The current formation is that Yamamoto Xinghei and Koyama Kenta are in front, Du Ke and Wang Zhen are a few meters behind and riding in the second row, Aladu and Yulimov are following Du Ke and Wang Zhen in the third row, and Chen Jiawen is alone in the fourth row.

Yamamoto Kyohei suddenly accelerated and hurried away. Duke reacted quickly, and he also accelerated forward, trying to grab the empty seat left by Yamamoto.

Ken Koyama, who stayed behind to hold his position, was prepared too early, and he frequently looked back to observe the situation behind him, slowing down his riding speed to control the pace.

Kenta Koyama kept fiddling with the handlebars, and he got stuck in the middle of the lane and swayed left and right, his trajectory like a snake.

In the face of Kenta Koyama's serpentine formation, Du Ke couldn't surpass it, and if he was forced, he might crash.

"Yes, this hill has good skills." Duke had researched the two Japanese riders before the race, and intelligence revealed that Koyama had played him once at the Ohio Mountain Bike Invitational in the United States in June.

On the steep Ohio track, Kenta Koyama didn't draw much attention to Doke, who had to pay attention to the Japanese rider with average climbing ability but excellent flat handling skills.

Riding a bike to a race, of course, the faster the better. And Kenta Koyama rode slower and slower, so slow that he almost stopped, he kept shaking the body, braking, shifting and cutting, he used the car setting skills in the ride to the extreme, not for himself, but for his cousin Yamamoto Kyohei to ride a little more in front, he was buying time for his cousin. In fact, it is more tiring and tiring to ride slowly than to ride fast and rush.

"It's so selfless to sacrifice yourself and protect your teammates." Du Ke actually admired Kenta Koyama a little at this time, Kenta Koyama spent his physical strength and energy to plug his mouth, just so that his teammates could ride farther, which is amazing. Everyone has selfish intentions, even if there is competition between teammates, and it is quite normal for sports teams in various countries and sports events to have internal infighting, and from time to time you can see the infighting of relevant teams breaking the news. Teammates beat each other and stick knives into each other, and this kind of thing happens occasionally.

Of course, Du Ke didn't know that the two Japanese drivers were related, and he said to Wang Zhen: "I'm about to enter the zigzag section, and I can't get stuck on that section of the road. ”

Wang Zhen nodded in understanding, and changed gears to enter the zigzag section.

It is impossible for Kenta Koyama to be stuck for a lifetime, and he silently said in his heart: "Xingping, I can only do so much for you, I hope you can ride faster." Then straighten the head of the car and kick a few feet into the twists and turns.

"Up!" Du Ke snorted, the sound of the car was fast, and in the blink of an eye, he entered the zigzag section of the road, and walked outside to want to super Koyama Kenta.

The first open corner was just around the corner, and Kenta Koyama couldn't get into the middle of the lane, so all he could do was get on the inside of the corner and take advantage of the corner. After all, Kenta Koyama also wants to go to Rio, and he has bought time for his cousin, and it's time to do something for himself.

But the extreme card position operation just now made Koyama Kenta feel tired, and as soon as he entered the corner, he found that a figure quickly swept past the outside of the corner, overtaking himself, it was Du Ke.

After less than 2 seconds, Wang Zhen also overtook Kenta Koyama.

The two Chinese drivers continued to accelerate after the corner, catching up with Yamamoto in front of him. If Duke and Wang Zhen want to get their tickets to Rio together, they will have to overtake all their opponents and hold the top two positions until the finish. (To be continued.) )
