"Duke and his girlfriend appeared in the equestrian arena, and the two of them sprinkled dog food. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Nowadays, the media is pervasive, and reporters follow Du Ke wherever he goes, taking pictures and videos, and no one is missing.

Of course, this is not a candid photo, who let Duke appear in public with such a high-profile female ticket.

"Su Yun, do you know that a horse of pure blood is more expensive than a Ferrari." Duke and Su Yun popular science horse racing common sense.

Su Yun: "Horse racing is so expensive?" Why? ”

Du Ke took out his phone: "Wait, I'll search it and tell you why." ”

"Poof~" Su Yun twisted Du Ke's arm, "It turns out that you are also a half-tone!" ”

"Tut-tut." The reporters couldn't stand it, these two flirted and scolded to show affection, and they couldn't look at each other.

The lingering tenderness during the Olympics is always short-lived, and the main theme is still competition.

The relaxing August 15th is over, and the busy August 16th is here.

Duke arrived at the Olympic Velodrome early in the morning to prepare for the first round of the men's keirin race in field cycling.

There are a total of 18 gold medals in road races, track races, mountain races, and BMX in cycling, which is not a small number.

The men's and women's track cycling will each have five individual events, namely team sprint, individual sprint, team pursuit, individual all-around, and keirin.

There are many individual events in track cycling, with dozens of larger, and the Rio Olympics has been reduced to five for men and five for women, producing a total of ten track cycling gold medals. Although it has been reduced to 10, track cycling is still the category with the most gold medals in cycling.

Englishman Macmillan invented the first true bicycle in 1839, and Britain has always been a traditional powerhouse in competitive cycling, and this is especially evident in track cycling.

The Games have already produced nine track cycling gold medals, with the British team winning five, making them the biggest winners in track cycling.

The remaining four gold medals were taken away by China, Germany, the Netherlands, and Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, and Italy are also cycling powers, and it is not easy for China's contemporary Mu Guiying and Hua Mulan to snatch a gold medal in women's team racing.

There is only one last gold medal left in track cycling, which is the men's keirin.

Du Ke will challenge for the medal and even the gold medal in the men's keirin today, and the Chinese men's player will participate in the keirin competition alone.

Benoit, the French foreign coach invited by the Chinese track cycling team, is a mature handsome man, he is round, his green eyes sometimes flash with pride, and sometimes he is melancholy for no reason.

"Hey, Du! xxoo##...... "Benoit said a bunch of things to Doucle.

Duke couldn't understand a word, he didn't know French.

Benoit's female French translator is a top student who graduated from the capital's foreign Chinese university, and the female translator wears a pair of large black-rimmed glasses, and half of her face is covered by glasses.

The female translator Xiao He translated Benoit's French into Chinese and said to Duke: "Benoit tells you not to be nervous, you can ride on this track is a victory." ”

Du Ke was puzzled and said, "He spoke to me in French for two minutes, just one sentence?" ”

Xiao He said helplessly: "The French are like this, a cup of coffee can be drunk in the afternoon, Benoit is already resolute among the French." ”

Du Ke: "You tell him, I'm not nervous, reaching the final is my guaranteed goal, as for what ranking I can get, just let God arrange it." Also, you ask him if he has any technical advice for me. ”

Xiao He translated Duke's words to Benoit.

Benoit nodded, then pushed a sleek, sharp-looking silver track car to Doke, and Balabala said a bunch more.

Ducobi gestured to Benoit, and when he talked about equipment, he didn't need to understand French, he had objects, gesturing, enough.

This look car is the one that Duke is most familiar with, and the frame, fork, and front wheel spokes are all made of carbon fiber.

Carbon fibre closed wheels are used for the rear wheels, and the front tube tires are super glued to the rims. Tires that are sewn together by inner and outer tubes are called tubular tires, and this type of tire has less rolling resistance.

Track cycling is a pure race bike, and the purpose of its existence is to push the speed of cycling to the limit.

Riders can't ride track bikes to the road because it has no brakes and no shifting system. The single-speed flywheel of track bikes is dead, and as long as the rear wheel turns, the rider's feet must also rotate.

Except for the handlebars, which are aluminum curves, the rest of Duke's car is basically made of carbon fiber, which is also the reason why track bikes are expensive.

Benoit crouched down to adjust the monolic crankset himself, he was a coach and a great technician.

Duke and Benoit were debugging the equipment together, and the female translator Xiao He was bored and swiping her phone.

“ok。” Duke made an OK gesture and signaled that he was going to ride his bike to the track to warm up.

Duke spent 143 bonus points yesterday on the Bike Page stats, and his current Bike Page stats are:

Explosive Power 125, Skill 125, Strength 120, Agility 120, Endurance 120, Constitution 120, Precision 10, Speed 10.

There are no stunts available for track cycling, Fast & Furious is a stunt for road races, and King of the Hill is a stunt for mountain races. Duke does not plan to synthesize a new stunt for the track race, he will use pure attributes combined with on-the-spot play to challenge the masters of the field race.

There are many types of track cycling events, which can be divided into two types: sprint and endurance.

In this Olympic Games, the actual racing distance of the Keirin racer is 625 meters, and the driver needs strong explosive power and car control skills to complete the 625-meter gallop, so Duke will pile up the explosive power and skills to the incredible level of 125, and other related attributes are enough to pile up to 120.

Dressed in a red seamless jersey, goggles and helmet, Douc stepped onto the race car with his feet on his pedals. The assistant coach of the Chinese team supported Du Ke's body and helped Du Ke maintain his balance.

Benoit tied Douce's feet to the pedals with a drawstring to improve Doke's riding efficiency.

When he was ready, Duke pedaled and rode onto the track to warm up and familiarize himself with the track.

The track is a huge oval with a circumference of 250 meters. The track is made of wooden floors and has a slope of 45 degrees.

The gradient of up to 6 meters can be daunting for those who are not familiar with track cycling: track cycling looks so dangerous, can you fall off when riding on a steep track?

In fact, the slope track and the dead flywheel of track cycling are all designed to ensure the safety of the riders.

Drivers control their speed by changing track positions up and down and suppressing the rotation of their pedals, and for skilled track pros, as long as they don't die, they won't die.

At 11:30, the first round of the men's keirin began.

The 27 players are divided into four groups, with 6 people in the first group and 7 people in the last three groups. The top two teams from each group advance directly to the second round, with the remaining 19 players going through the repechage to determine four more places in the second round.

Duke was in the first group, and the other five players in the same group were all Europeans.

Europe is the strongest continent in cycling, and Duke will challenge five Europeans in the first round, and he is not sure whether he can directly advance to the second round.

There were six drivers in Germany, Poland and China, Duke and China, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and Greece in the third, and they lined up on the starting line.

The coaches of each team stand behind the drivers of their own team to help the drivers, and the help is to stabilize the drivers' bodies, because the riders' feet are tied to the pedals and cannot achieve natural balance.

The closest to the inside of the track is the No. 1 starting position, with the Greek driver in the No. 1 position.

On the outermost side was the No. 6 starting position, with the German rider in the No. 6 position.

Duke was in the middle of the 4th starting position, and the starting position was decided by lot.

The referee gives the ready signal and the lead motorcycle starts.

CCTV 5 was broadcasting the men's Keirin game live, and the Chinese audience was confused: "Am I right? Why are there motorcycles in bicycle races? ”

For Chinese viewers who have never been exposed to track cycling, the Keirin Race is more unpopular than the Road Cycling ITT, and if it weren't for Duke's participation, they might not have watched a live Keirin Race for the rest of their lives.

“hoo-ka！” Benoit, who helped Douc in the car, turned his head to look at the motorcycle leader who was getting closer and closer, and let out a shout.

Duke didn't know if Benoit spoke French or what language, but he knew that when Benoit shouted "hoo-ka", it meant that the bout was about to start in five seconds. (To be continued.) )
