Chapter 539: A Mysterious Power from the East
Cruising for 1 hour on a bicycle at an average speed of 54.5 km/h is quite difficult, so the 1-hour world record set by Lord Wiggins of Great Britain is regarded as a myth by fans. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Riding on flat ground at speeds of up to 35 km/h, riders will feel the wind attack significantly stronger, and it will be difficult to open their eyes without protective glasses.
Above 40 km, riders need to put more effort into maintaining their balance, controlling the stability of the bike, and constantly being vigilant about their surroundings while overcoming wind resistance.
Up to 50 km, it is no longer suitable for amateur cyclists.
Riding at an average speed of 50 km+ for 1 hour is something that only a few top professional riders can do, and excellent muscle strength, long-lasting endurance, skilled bike control skills, good body coordination, and sensitive nerve reflexes are all indispensable.
Douc slowed down for the first 3km of the third time trial to regain his strength, and after 3km he gradually increased his cadence and rode faster and faster.
After Duke overtook the German driver Geschke, the live camera was firmly locked on him, occasionally cutting through internationally famous drivers such as Cancellara, Dumoulin, and Froome.
All 37 riders had already started the race, and Duke had already caught three rabbits in a row after 25 kilometres, and he was not even halfway through the race.
Lu Shun informed Du Ke of the real-time situation: "Du Ke, you are still 9.6 kilometers away from the third time point, now most of the drivers have passed the second time point, Di Mulan caught up a little in the second time trial stage, he is currently in second place, 2 minutes and 58 seconds behind you. ”
Dumoulin, Froome, Cancellara, Australia's Dennis and Germany's Geschke, who had just been caught by Duke, are the main players in the Tour de France professional team, and they ride a 50-kilometer ITT, and the first place can win tens of seconds if they finish second.
The first and second time periods of the Rio circuit combined for less than 20 kilometres, and Duke was 2 minutes and 58 seconds ahead of second place in the timing list at the second timing point, which is almost the equivalent of a professional driver bullying a semi-professional driver.
Duke looked at the computer and the instant speed was 41.2 km/h...... 42.1…… 42.9……
At 43 km/h, Duke felt the soreness in his thigh muscles intensify, and the lactic acid was accumulating at an accelerated pace.
Although most of the coastline stages are flat, crosswinds are more of a hindrance to Duke, and the closed wheels of the TT car are high-end cargo, but this kind of spoked wheel is the most afraid of crosswinds.
Duke found that it was difficult to push to about 43 kilometers per hour on the coastline stage, and it was difficult to reach more than 50 kilometers without stunts.
"The power of nature is awe-inspiring, and no matter how close Duke is to God, he is not a true God after all. Under the crosswind, Doucle's real-time speed is difficult to reach 44 and 45, and his average speed has dropped to 44.5 km/h, which is approaching his instant. The commentator for Sky TV said.
"Maybe Duke can win this ITT, but he can't break Sir Wiggins' one-hour world record unless a paranormal miracle happens to him." Sky TV and the news company behind it are world-class media predators, and the most famous professional team in the world cycling is called Sky Team, and Sky TV is the largest shareholder of Sky Team.
Sir Wiggins, mentioned by the Sky commentator, is the driver of Team Sky, and although Wiggins did not come to Rio, Team Sky's hottest driver at the moment, Froome, who is a three-time Tour de France champion, is on the circuit.
Froome was the last on the grid, and he had not yet passed the second timing point, which was 1 minute and 37 seconds behind Duke, and not as fast as Dumoulin and Cancellara.
Douc rode at a speed of 42~43 km/h on the shoreline stage, 4.9 km away from the third timing point.
The Sky commentator is still chattering, convinced that Sir Wiggins' one-hour world record will hold into the next decade.
Suddenly, the wind and clouds suddenly decreased, and the crosswind on the shoreline stage suddenly decreased, which Duke could feel as he noticed that his riding speed had unconsciously increased to 45.1 km/h.
"It's time!"
Under heavy crosswinds, it is not cost-effective to do stunts. Du Ke finally waited for the moment when the wind was small, he turned on [Fast and Furious] and soared!
3 minutes of stunt time is precious, so Duke won't waste a second.
In the live broadcast screen of CCTV 5, Duke is riding rapidly, and the CCTV 5 commentator: "47.4 km/h!" ”
“49!”
“52!”
"Douc broke out again, and he picked up the speed in the final stage of the third time trial! 55.7 km ...... Oh, it's changed again, 58.4 km! Duke actually reached a speed of nearly 60 kilometers per hour in the Sea Breeze stage! The power of nature is truly awe-inspiring, but Duke has taken the full potential of humanity to the fullest! There is nothing absolutely impossible, and if Duke keeps it up, he has another chance to break the 1-hour world record! ”
The audience watched the excitement of the chicken: "There is no other driver who can stop the wheel of Duke's progress, he represents the mysterious forces from the East who are challenging nature!" ”
Yang 5 commentator: "How fast Du Ke rides, there is a comparison to be specific." Look, Douc overtook another rider, Australia's Ron Dennis was overtaken by Doucle, and the fourth rabbit was caught! ”
On the Rio circuit, Duke had already reached 60.2 km/h, and he overtook Ron Dennis in an instant, cleanly!
Brush!
Dennis thought he had been overtaken by a motorcycle, but when he saw that it was a bicycle, he was frightened or panicked, so he pushed too hard and accidentally broke the timing of his car.
The handlebar on which the computer was mounted was called the chronograph handlebar, and Dennis was so nervous that he ruined his car and lacked a handlebar to continue riding.
After all, he was an internationally famous driver, and Dennis reacted quickly, he immediately slowed down and stopped, and the support car of the Australian team witnessed everything in front of him, and the support car also stopped on the side of the road.
The spare car fixed on the roof cover of the back-up car came into play at this point, and Dennis immediately switched to a new car and returned to the race. He lost half a minute as a result.
Douce crossed the third timing point at high speed, covering a distance of 34.6 kilometers, and the time at the third timing was 39 minutes and 05 seconds.
Duke rode 34.6 kilometers in 39 minutes and 05 seconds, and in the final kilometers of the third time period, he braved the Fast and Furious to reach an average speed of 53.1 km/h, while Wiggins' one-hour world record translates to an average speed of 54.526 km/h.
Duke was well ahead of all the other riders after passing the third timing point, and he knew in his heart that as long as there were no accidents in the final 20 kilometers, the cycling gold medal would be almost in his hands!
But Duke had a more exciting pursuit, and he asked Lu Shun over the radio: "I'm already in the fourth time trial, and there are still 20 kilometers left in the fourth and fifth time trials combined." What speed do I need to maintain in the last 20 kilometers to break Wiggins' world record? ”
Lu Shun: "57.4 km/h!" Doucle: You have to maintain a speed of more than 57.4 km/h in the last 20 kilometers to break the world record! "It's not easy to do.
"Good! Brother Shun, wish me good luck! "Douc made it to the fourth time trial, which was not on the beach and there were no crosswinds, including stage five.
Duke looked at the computer and the instant speed: 55.3 km/h.
The 3-minute effect of "Fast and Furious" has ended, and Doucle's riding speed is slowly decreasing.
"55.3, not enough!" Duke held his breath to break the British's world record, and while he waited for the next Fast and Furious to be activated, he flashed a light of honor. (To be continued.) )
