Chapter 427: Dead to the end

Douc exited the starting area and entered lap 2. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"There are 5 people in front, and I can't see anyone at all." Duke rode on the flat road in front of the mountain, looking ahead, no one could be seen, turning his head to look back, and vaguely saw the pursuers approaching.

Douc sped up his ride and shook off his pursuers, and by this time he had made his way up the hill and began to climb a gentle slope.

It was a lonely journey, with no leader in sight and no pursuers in sight on the winding mountain road, and all Duke could occasionally see were fans scattered outside the driveway, as well as UCI staff.

For the fans of the mountain races, it is impossible for them to see the whole track, so where is the cool point of watching the bike races? Fans crouching on the track somewhere, maybe they feel a feeling.

Every sport has its own charm, and the charm of mountain biking may be: indulge, go wild, release, and be in nature rather than against it.

Duke rode past a mud puddle, and he switched the gear ratio, lifted his hips off the seat, and rode slowly through the mud puddle with ease. Don't try to fight the mud, be gentle with it and it won't trap you.

Finally, before hitting the most difficult part of the steep climb, Douc spotted a rider 15 meters ahead.

The message on the bib number on the driver's back is: 2021, Oyama

As soon as Duke looked at the driver's name and size, he knew he was a Japanese driver.

Kenta Koyama, Japan's number one mountain biker, is numbered 2021, which is higher than the 2028 Chinese rider Wang Zhen, indicating that Kenta Koyama is ranked higher in the world than Wang Zhen. Of course, it's not that high, and Kenta Koyama is ranked around 100th in the world.

The overall level of Asian cycling is not high, China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Hong Kong and other countries and regions have a certain strength in some individual events, and the only one who can beat the world's masters may be China's track cycling women's team sprint event.

In the men's mountain biking event, if Duke wants to get an Olympic ticket and win or finish second in the Asian Championships, this Kenta Koyama is an opponent that Doucle must overcome.

Douc started the steep slope and chased down Kenta Koyama, so let's test the Japanese rider's level in this invitational race.

"Hey, hey, it's really hard to climb." Halfway up the steep slope, Kenta Koyama gritted his teeth and continued to climb, currently ranking fifth among all riders, and he has already played well.

"Huh? Overtaken! Kenta Koyama suddenly noticed that the No. 2040 rider had overtaken him, he had never heard of the rider named "KE", but he thought that this KE was too good at climbing.

Kenta Koyama blushed, gritted his teeth and chased after Du Ke, but he couldn't catch up, and watched Du Ke climb to the top of the slope first, and then disappear, "Look at the name, this Ke is East Asian, right?" There is another one who grabs Olympic tickets, this kid is very strong! ”

"The Japanese rider doesn't have a lot of climbing ability, but he can get to the front in this race and I guess he has good control skills on flat ground." At this point, Duke started to go downhill, and the Japanese rider had already learned it, with four leaders in front of him.

As the downhill slope gets steeper and steeper, Duke adjusts his weight toward the rear wheels and smoothly passes through the downhill.

Duke spotted another Austrian rider and, with nothing to say, overtook him.

After the second lap, Duke returned to the starting area, knowing he was fourth with three people in front of him.

By the third and fourth laps, the drivers' physical strength began to drop significantly, and some drivers withdrew from the race due to car problems.

By lap five, Duco had already made it to second place, and he knew that there was one driver ahead of him, the Spanish rider, who was ranked ninth in the world. After 5 laps, I never saw the 2001 Spaniard.

At the end of lap 5, Du Ke found that his teammate Wang Zhen had been lapped by himself.

"God, how many laps have you been? 5? Wang Zhen asked Du Ke.

Du Ke nodded: "Is the physical strength up to keep up?" If you can keep up, then follow me. ”

Wang Zhen shook his head: "If you take me to ride, you will be dragged down by me." No. 2001 has just finished my lap, and he has only been gone for less than 30 seconds, so let's go and blow him up! ”

"Okay, brother, you have to resist." Douc didn't say anything more, and sped forward.

On lap six, Douc finally caught a glimpse of the 2001 Spaniard in a crimson jersey.

The Spaniard, who was riding in front, seemed to have a hunch, and he glanced back to see that Douc was closing in on him quickly.

"2040, he's not the one who was lapped by me, then he's the second driver, and it looks like he wants to overtake me." The person who was lapped by the Spanish car had a rough impression in his mind that in this race, the Spanish driver only saw Duke for the first time on lap 6, so he judged that Duke was second.

The Spaniard was quite experienced, and he took advantage of the various conditions on the mountain track to get stuck in Douc's overtaking route.

Sou~

The Spanish rider skillfully used his dolphin jump technique to jump over a tree root obstacle point.

Sou~

Duke was equally adept at using the dolphin jump, jumping over the root barrier and continuing to follow the Spaniard.

The Spaniard looked back: "Can't shake it off?" It's tough. ”

"This guy is really good, but fortunately he came to participate in such a game, which can be regarded as accumulating experience." Duke finally met a difficult bone, in fact, the ranking and prize money of this invitational tournament are nothing, and it is more important to be familiar with the gameplay of international masters.

The two of them are so anxious, one wants to surpass but can't, and the card is not easy.

In fact, it is even more difficult to get stuck in front of the driver, and the Spanish driver has to maintain a certain forward speed, pay attention to the road conditions in front of him, and constantly monitor Duco behind him, which is quite a lot of physical and mental pressure.

Douc and the Spanish No. 2001 stumbled all the way up the steep slope. Both of them have a lot of physical exertion at this time, and this climb may become the location of the decisive battle.

Duke used the [King of the Hill] once on the first lap, and now he has ridden the 6th lap, and after 1 hour of CD, he turns on the [King of the Hill] again, and instantly feels that the whole person is better.

"Suddenly!" On lap 6, the most physically demanding and difficult climb, it was crucial for Duke to save 30% of his energy for climbing.

Duke climbed the hill with all his might, and overtook the 2001 from the right side.

The Spaniard No. 2001 no longer had the stamina and energy to go to Kaduco's path, and he had to convince him: "No. 2040, his stamina is amazing!" What's even more terrifying is that he can forbear and choose to explode at the best time to give his opponent a fatal blow! ”

Duco finally overtook the Spaniard and grabbed first place in the second half of lap six.

Entering the final lap, the situation reversed, and the Spanish driver began to chase Duke, and Duke did not have a lot of experience in the actual battle, so Duke was not stuck in the position, he directly increased the cadence and accelerated.

On lap 7, the Spaniard and the Spaniard continued to lap the other riders, and Doucle always maintained a lead of more than 10 meters and rode in first place.

In the end, Douc took the lead in completing the 7-lap ride and was the first to reach the finish line and win the championship.

"Congratulations to you Duke, this is one of your mountain champions." Zhu congratulated Du Ke and then began to analyze the data: "There is no world record in mountain biking, because every track is different. Mountain races are about beating opponents as the primary goal, and the final result is used as a reference rather than a core element, which is very different from swimming and athletics. ”

"In this race, you completed 7 laps of 35.35 kilometers in 1 hour, 31 minutes and 15 seconds, with an average speed of 23.5 km/h, which is already in the top 10 or even the top 5 in the world. So, it makes me look forward even more, come on, Ducques, maybe you're going to make history. (To be continued.) )
