August 14, Malacca State, southern Malaysia, cloudy and windless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At 9:30 a.m., in the warm-up area of the Malacca circuit, riders from all over the world participating in the Asian Mountain Bike Championships were warming up and preparing for the race.

Track and field athletes will run a few laps in the warm-up, swimmers will swim a few times in the warm-up, and cyclists will mostly ride a few kilometers in the warm-up and ride on the platform.

In the warm-up area, there is a cycling platform, and a bicycle is fixed on the pedestal, and the riders get on the bike and pedal, ride in place, move their muscle groups, and find a feeling.

At half past ten, the 2015 Mountain Bike Asian Championships men's XC race is about to be fired.

In the starting area, 35 riders from 20 Asian countries lined up in four rows, waiting for the starting gun to sound.

In the men's XC event, each Asian country can sign up to two riders, with some countries fielding two full riders and others sending only one rider with a bit of strength.

Duke won the U.S. Invitational in June and earned some UCI points, and he started on the fourth row with the number 29 in the Asian Championship XC race. Teammate Wang Zhen is No. 10 and starts in the second row.

Du Ke and Wang Zhen are wearing exactly the same dark blue one-piece cycling suit, and the white helmet style is exactly the same, but the lace color is different, Du Ke's helmet has a white background with red edges, and Wang Zhen's helmet has a white background with light gold edges.

The two Chinese racers' race cars are almost copy-and-paste, with the difference being the color and size of the frame. Du Ke and Wang Zhen's race cars are all made of chrome-molybdenum steel alloy frames, Du Ke's frame is sprayed silver, and Wang Zhen's frame is sprayed orange. Duke and Wang Zhen are about the same height, and Duke has longer legs, so his frame size is slightly larger.

The technicians of the Chinese cycling team configured the same parts for Du Ke and Wang Zhen's cars:

Swallow handlebars with cross braces provide better maneuverability.

The 24-speed transmission system + three-piece crankset set makes Du Ke and Wang Zhen more flexible in shifting gears and selecting the gear ratio range. There are no long uphill and downhill sections, and this combination of variable speed system and crankset group is absolutely sufficient.

Hydraulic disc brakes are more expensive than common V-brakes and provide more braking power.

The fork oil spring, rear fork oil damping, and the niche and high-end suspension front and rear forks make the two Chinese riders' cars softer and better protect the male riders' balls during the 40.5km off-road ride.

The tires are XC tires instead of small and strong DH tires. DH tires can't bring speed, 95% of the Malacca track is flat, and Du Ke and Wang Zhen need to compete with other opponents for flat speed, so XC tires are used.

Whether it's a mountain bike, a road bike or a track bike, they have only two wheels, but they are quite sophisticated. From frames, rims, and tires, to cranksets, flywheels, and brake shifts, to small items like handlebars, pedals, and bolt buckles, every part has a purpose.

Combining parts of different sizes and models to create a unique car in hundreds of permutations and combinations is a job that true mechanics enjoy.

All in all, Du Ke and Wang Zhen's cars, under the premise of conforming to the principles of physics, have been adjusted by the technicians of the Chinese team more comprehensively, integrating control, anti-manufacturing, and speed-up. It's impossible to tune everything to max, and you can only balance speed and resistance to the greatest extent.

Duke spent 66 bonus points yesterday, boosting the Bike Page skill stat to 120. The King of the Hill stunt is basically useless on the Malacca track at negative altitude, and it is safer to improve the flat slashing attribute. Skill is an attribute that is very important in mountain biking, road cycling, and track cycling, and in BMX racing, skill is perhaps one of the most important attributes.

Bang!

At this time, the starting gun goes off and the game begins!

Thirty-five riders from all over the world grabbed two tickets to the Olympics, and the competition was fierce and even brutal.

More than 30 riders from East Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, and West Asia are all full of energy, taking advantage of the chaotic situation at the beginning, rushing, fishing in troubled waters!

After leaving the departure area, there is a sandy road of four or five hundred meters.

For the first 100 meters of the dirt road, the road is wide enough to accommodate nine bikes riding side by side. After 100 meters, the road becomes narrower and narrower.

As a result, drivers are trying to take the lead in the first 100 meters after the start, and overtaking becomes difficult after 100 meters.

The drivers in the front row wanted to maintain their starting advantage, and the drivers in the back row were reluctant to fall behind, and the battle after the gun was fired.

I saw the yellow sand flying and the dust covered the sky, which was really like the ancient battlefield where the two armies faced each other.

In the haze and dust, I only heard someone shouting in English: "Be careful! Get out of the way! ”

I heard another voice: "Flash you are paralyzed...... Yes! it! ”

At this time, the BGM sounded: crackling, crunchy!

It's the sound of metal crashing.

The No. 35 Vietnamese driver started in the last position and had a bad start. After the start, the Vietnamese wanted to beat the South Korean riders in front of them.

Of course, the South Korean driver will not allow himself to be overtaken, so he will stuck his parking space and will not give way.

The Vietnamese rider was ruthless, gritted his teeth, kicked his pedals vigorously, and adopted the means of overlord hard bow to beat the Korean rider.

The stubbornness of the Korean driver also came, he flicked the handle slightly, adjusted the direction of the body and continued to get stuck in the position, Lao Tzu just won't give you super!

The Vietnamese driver overtook the car and slammed the front wheel into the Korean driver's rear fork, and then it crackled! The two collided together, and the car suddenly turned on their backs.

Make innocent bystanders get into trouble in a disturbance.

The Vietnamese riders not only plagued the Koreans, but he also plagued the Filipinos, Indonesians, and Thailand.

The unlucky Filipino riders, Indonesian riders, and Thai riders, they originally just wanted to ride quietly, but they were brought by South Korean and Vietnamese riders who fell to the ground, so the five of them rushed to the street together, the yellow sand flew +1, and the dust was +1, how magnificent the picture was.

"Your sister! The Vietnamese are so savage! Duke's heart tightened, the Vietnamese driver knocked the South Korean driver into the air, and the South Korean driver rushed into the street with the car and people, instantly bringing down the Filipino, Indonesian, and Thai drivers around him.

The Indonesian driver was closest to Duke, like a domino, and the Indonesian driver who couldn't control his car almost caused Doke.

Luckily, Duke was quick and agile, he quickly shifted gears, and slammed a few pedals to quickly move away from the chaotic area of the crowd.

Less than 100 meters after the start, five drivers crashed into the street, so the competition between 35 professional drivers for two Olympic tickets was extremely fierce and brutal...... (To be continued.) )
