Chapter 442: One Man Fights One Team (One Shift)

The second stage of the race starts at 2:30 p.m., with a team starting every seven minutes, a total of 22 teams plus Zhang Guan, an independent driver, who will start just after 5 p.m. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The starting order of the team is also ranked according to the ranking, and Zhang Guan's result is first, so he will start last, and the race will tell him that the starting time is 5:04.

So Zhang Guan was not in a hurry, he found a place to sit down, and then used his mobile phone to swipe the latest game information.

The first team to be punished was the Danish Saxo Bank team, a veteran team in the Tour de France, and the defending champion Kontard, who was in the team, but in yesterday's race, the Danish Saxo Bank team did not play well, finishing last overall.

Twenty-five minutes later, Zhang Guan's mobile phone was updated with the latest match results, and the time of Denmark's Saxo Bank was 25 minutes and 16 seconds.

The first result is often the benchmark for each team, but Saxo Bank is a strong team after all, and their benchmark is not so easy to surpass, and the next four teams are far inferior to the Saxo Bank team. It wasn't until more than an hour into the race that the Dutch Rapo Bank team overtook the Danish Saxo Bank team with a score of 25 points.

"Garmin Racing USA set the best time, 24 minutes and 48 seconds!" A voice caught Zhang Guan, who put down his drink and immediately checked the latest event information.

The American Garmin team, under the leadership of the main driver Hushuford, ran a time of 24.48 seconds, and Hushuford also ranked first among all drivers with a total time of 5 hours, 06 minutes and 25 seconds.

"Thor Hushuford?" Zhang Guan carefully recalled the athlete information, in fact, most of the athlete information was just seen by Zhang Guan last night, he had not paid much attention to the Tour de France before, and he did not know much about the Tour de France cyclists.

Hushuford, nicknamed "Thor", is a very fast rider with a very strong sprint ability, and has won the sprint king in the world's top cycling events such as the Tour de France and Spain, and is also one of the popular candidates for the green jersey of this year's Tour de France.

"Hushuaford was tied for fourth place in the first stage with most other players, and he was 21 seconds slower than me, which meant I had to finish the second stage in 25:09." Zhang Guan calculated silently in his heart.

The British Sky team ran a good time of 24 minutes and 52 seconds, followed by the American Radio team also managed to run under 25.

The last three teams to start were the Luxembourg Cheetah team, the American BMC racing team and the Belgian Lotto team, and their results, Zhang Guan did not know, because when the Belgian Lotto team started, it was Zhang Guan's turn.

……

"Kader, over to you!" The team's "rabbit" gave way to Caddle Evans.

Evans lowered his head and began to sprint with all his might, and as the leader of the team, he had to be at the front of the pack to get a better result for the team.

"BMC Racing USA is here! Evans takes the lead and crosses the line! What are the results? Has it surpassed the American Garmin team? The commentator kept his eyes glued to the screen, and then the TV showed the time taken by the American BMC team.

"24 minutes and 52 seconds! As a result, Evans' total time became 5:06:26, which is only 1 second slower than Hushuford! ”

"It's still a second slower!" Evans shook his head a little disappointed, Evans had a better time in the first race, so if the total time was the same, Evans would have won the fir, but unfortunately Evans was still 1 second slower.

"But it doesn't matter, Hushuford's advantage is his ability to sprint, his climbing level is relatively average, and when it comes to the later mountain or hilly stage, I can easily catch up with this one-second gap." Evans thought as he looked at the drivers' standings.

Among the top 10 places, Hushuaford's Garmin Racing Team of the United States occupies two places, Evans' BMC Racing Team of the United States occupies two seats, the British Sky Team occupies two seats, and the remaining four competitors all belong to the Luxembourg Cheetah Racing Team.

"The Luxembourg cheetah is very strong this year!" Avis sighed in his heart.

The Luxembourg Cheetah team has the Schleck brothers, as well as the king of time trials, Canserala.

The Schleck brothers came from a family of cyclists, and their father was a professional cyclist. The older brother, Frank Schleck, won the Tour de France in 2008 in white, while his younger brother Andy Schleck, who finished second in the Tour de France last year, are both favourites. And now, the two brothers are all squeezed into the top ten, which also makes Evans feel a little pressure.

"I was 1 second slower than the 1st place, and the 10th Schrek was only 3 seconds slower than me, which means that the gap between the top 10 was only 4 seconds! This year's competition is as fierce as in previous years! ”

Evans was pondering the rankings when someone suddenly shouted and caught his attention.

"The Belgian Lotto guys are coming!" The provincial shout alarmed not only Evans, but everyone, both the riders and the spectators, focused their eyes on the finish line.

In the distance, the Belgian Lotto team players appeared in everyone's sight.

Evans looked at his watch for the first time, and then became calm.

"The Belgian Lotto is already slow! They should have left at 4:47 and now it's 5:12 and they're over 25 minutes! ”

Sure enough, the Belgian Lotto team finished with a time of 25 minutes and 27 seconds, which is only average among the 22 teams.

The Garmin team of America has already begun to celebrate, and his teammates have hugged Hushuford.

"The results of the Belgian Lotto team are very average, so that all 22 teams have already completed their second stage. Hushuford from Garmin Racing in the United States still retained the first place, although he only had a one-second lead, but it was also a one-second advantage that allowed him to win the yellow jersey! As a guest, Hinauer continued: "The Tour de France race is so intense and exciting, although it has gone through two time periods, and the cumulative distance has reached more than 210 kilometers, we can see that the first place has only gained a 1-second advantage, and the gap between the top 10 is only 4 seconds!" ”

However, the race is not over yet, and Zhang Guan, who competes as an independent driver, is still racing. Although he lost the yellow jersey, he still retains the green, red, and white spotted jersey and white jersey. The narrator spoke.

Next, just wait for Zhang Guan to cross the finish line, and then the medal ceremony will be held. Wait a minute, Zhang Guan only started 7 minutes late for the Belgian Lotto team, which should be there soon. ”

As Shinauer spoke, the camera cut to Zhang Guan, who was taken by the photographer on the motorcycle who had been following Zhang Guan.

In the distance, you can see the alluring pastoral scenery of western France, and a sign standing in the field is particularly conspicuous.

"That's the sign of Blue Millett Estate!" Evans looked at the TV at the end, he knew that this was a famous wine estate in western France, and when he passed by, Evans had paid special attention to the sign.

"Zhang Guan set off at 5:04, and now it's 5:25, which means that Zhang Guan passed by here and took 21 minutes to walk to the Blue Millet wine estate, and when I walked there, it seemed to take 21 minutes, right? Could it be that Zhang Guan's speed is as fast as mine? How is this possible! We're a team and he's just one person! (To be continued.) )
