Chapter 538: Challenging the 1-Hour World Record (Three Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)

"Fabian, the output power is higher! Hurry up and finish this slope! ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"Don't ask so much, just trust me!"

Climbing is not Fabian Cancellala's forte, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he decided to follow his coach's command. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With a crackling pang of gear shifts and gear ratio adjustments, Cancella pushed up the power and picked up the pace of the climb.

Cancellara was the men's ITT champion and third runner-up in the big group at the '08 Olympics, with two Olympic medals, one gold and one bronze, enough to go down in Swiss Olympic history. At the age of 35, he is still in peak form, earning him the nickname "Spartacus" for his tough output and tenacity on flat ground. Giving nicknames to famous riders is a long-standing tradition in road cycling.

Chinese fans prefer to call Cancellara "Kan Shen", but Kan Shen is now confused because the Swiss coach's voice over the radio sounded anxious.

The Swiss coach asked Cancellara to ride a little faster, in fact, for the sake of love.

In ITT races, once you are overtaken by a player who starts later, it will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to your confidence for the overtaken player.

After climbing to the top of the 5.9 per cent slope, Cancellara breathed a sigh of relief because the descent was easy for him and his downhill technique was excellent.

Cancellara shifted her weight back and lightly slammed the brake to start hurtling downhill.

Whew!

The trees on both sides of the track were rapidly receding, and he liked the feeling of a sharp descent.

Cancellara looks at the handlebar-mounted computer: 67.2 km/h.

There are professional drivers who have gone downhill at 78 km/h, which is a thrill comparable to that of a motorized vehicle.

Excitement is often accompanied by danger, and the most important thing about rushing downhill is not how fast you can fly, but how fast you can fly under the premise of ensuring safety.

Maintaining balance and flexibly controlling the car is the most critical downhill technique.

Cancellara was solid on the downhill and after a tight turn he went into flat ground with the second timing point 1.5km ahead.

"Fabia, pay attention!" The anxious voice of the Swiss coach sounded on the radio again.

"Notice what?" Cancellara frowned.

Swiss coach: "There's someone in the back!" ”

"Of course there's someone in the back!" Cancellara replied dissatisfied.

Swiss coach: "The guy in the back...... He's catching up with you! ”

Cancellara was instantly shocked: "What? There's no way Dumoulin can ride this fast! ”

Swiss coach: "Not the Dutch, it's Chinese"!

Cancellara thought the coach was joking: "No way! Chinese started 3 minutes behind me and it was impossible to catch up with ......"

Brush!

Before Cancellara could finish his sentence, a redshirt racer sped past him.

Swiss coach: "Fabia, nothing is impossible. You see it all, it's this Chinese, Du Ke. ”

"No!" Cancellara shouted, but he didn't even know what was going on, and he was overtaken by Duke.

Brush!

The Chinese team's support car then swept past Cancellara and followed Duke.

"No ......" Cancellara was suddenly deflated, it seems that this is true, he was overtaken by the Chinese driver, and he was overtaken by 3 minutes!

In the support car of the Chinese team, Lu Shun slapped his thigh excitedly, he grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Du Ke!" Cow! You killed Kanshen in seconds! He didn't even react, thinking he had seen a monster, hahaha! But I have to remind you that you must be safe! After passing the second timing point, you will be about 3 minutes ahead of the second place. With such a big lead, don't soar more than 70 kilometers, and you can't go downhill! ”

Duke: "Okay, safety first. So he maintained a speed of about 45 kilometers and went straight to the second timing point.

"Before Duke passed the second timing point, he surpassed two world famous players in a row!" The Yang 5 commentator is a little unable to describe his feelings.

Just now, Duke drove [Fast and Furious] again, and the physical exertion was a bit large, and he gradually reduced his speed, 45 km/h, 42 km/h, 40 km/h...... The second timing point was passed when it finally descended to 38 km.

Of all the riders who passed the second timing point, Duke was in first place, with a time of 22 minutes and 47 seconds, 3 minutes 03 seconds ahead of second place Australian Dennis.

Duke looked down at his computer and saw that he had ridden 19.7 kilometers at an average speed of 51.8 km/h.

"51.8 km/h!" The Yang 5 commentator was very excited, "If Duke is a little faster, he will have a chance to break the 1-hour world record of the lord!" ”

The Chinese audience was a little confused: "What? There's a world record for this thing, too! ”

The Yang 5 commentator stared at the constantly changing speed display of Duke on the screen and continued to comment: "British rider Wiggins was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, and the world record he set for 1 hour was 54.526 km, which can be understood as Wiggins maintained a speed of 54.526 km/h and rode for 1 hour, setting a world record. ”

"The Rio ITT track is 54.6 kilometres long, and if Duke can finish in less than one hour, he will break the British world record! Oh my God, we didn't dare to think that it would be difficult for a Chinese driver to break Wiggins' world record, and it would be difficult to even get close. And now, Douc has the opportunity to create a new bike myth! It's more historic than catching a bunny! ”

As he spoke, the average speed of the entire course dropped to less than 50 kilometers per hour.

Through the narrator's popular science, Chinese viewers can now basically capture some useful information from the live broadcast screen.

"Douce's physical strength seems to have decreased, and the average speed has dropped to 48.9 kilometers per hour."

"It seems that the British lord is really good, and he rides at an average speed of 54 kilometers for an hour, which is terrifying! I usually can't control the bike until I ride for about 40 kilometers, and it's hard to hold the handlebars steady. ”

"Come on, Chinese lord, please blow up the British lord!"

"Rub, I was bike blind yesterday, but now, I find out I'm in love with road bikes! Watching Duke drag racing is so enjoyable! ”

……

By this time, Douc had entered the third time trial, a 14.9-kilometre coastal road.

The biggest challenge on the coastline stage was the sea breeze, with most riders preferring to climb steep slopes rather than face strong crosswinds.

Douca also doesn't like Crosswind, which he was once overdrawn by at the Izu Track.

"But the good news is that compared to Izu's super crosswind, Rio's crosswind is gentle, isn't it Duke?" Lu Shun observed Du Ke's riding movements and rhythm through the front windshield.

"That's true." Doke's instant speed was 37.2 km/h, and the average speed dropped to 47.3 km/h.

"Brother Shun, I want to challenge Wiggins' 1-hour world record." Duke said suddenly.

Lu Shun: "Oh? When? ”

Doucle: "Right now! "Then I accelerated again, and I rode faster and faster. (To be continued.) )
