The Tour de France is still going on in an orderly manner, especially after entering the south of France, with the gradual increase in the number of hilly and mountainous stages, and the physical exertion of the competitors. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Along the mountains of southern France, the race finally travelled from the southwest of France to the southeast of France, on stage 17 to Italy, and then on stage 18 from Italy to France.

The four jerseys have always been owned by Zhang Guan, although after entering the mountains, Zhang Guan did not win the championship in every stage, but Zhang Guan's main competitors are unlikely to win the championship every time. The Douglas fir is the overall score, and as long as the overall score is ahead, the Douglas fir can always be retained.

As the Tour de France entered the second half of the race, the situation became clearer, and in terms of overall results, the gap between the riders behind them had opened up a big gap, and the competition among the top 10 riders was becoming increasingly fierce.

……

On July 22, the 19th stage of the Tour de France, from Mordanne to Alpdière, is 109.5 kilometres, the last mountain stage of the Tour de France, and with two superlative climbs in the entire stage, it will be the last chance to compete for polka dot shirts.

The highest level of climbing, that is, the HC climbing point, is the longest and steepest climbing point, and the difficulty is greater than that of the first climbing point. The first player to conquer the highest climb points earns 40 climb points.

The two top climbs, if they both take the first place, will have 80 climbing points, which is a decisive score, enough for the driver to complete the climb point reversal at the last moment, and therefore, the competition for the climbing king in this race has entered the most white-hot stage.

"Sanchez of the Spanish 11-man team, he was the first to cross the top climb and got 40 climb points! There is only a 3-point gap between him and Zhang Guan, and the ownership of the red and white spotted shirt still retains suspense! ”

"Zhang Guan, fifth! He is the fifth driver to cross the top climb and will earn 22 points on the climb, which puts Sanchez 25 points behind when he counts the previous three points ahead! And there were no climbs in the last two stages, which meant that Sanchez would have to lead Zhang Guan by 25 points on the next superlative climb to finally get the red and white spotted jersey! ”

"At the highest climbing point, the top 15 runners can get points, the points are 40, 35, 30, 26, 22, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1, if Sanchez still rushes over the climb point first, Zhang Guan only needs to get a seventh place, he can beat Sanchez by 1 point! And if Sanchez can't get the top four, even if Zhang Guan doesn't score a point in the next climb, he can win the final climb king! ”

Sanchez seems to feel that the next top climb is his last chance, but the last climb is in front of the finish line, so a faster climb means a faster pass to the finish line, not only Sanchez wants to win, but also several other favorites want to win, because it is also related to the battle for the yellow jersey.

Evans, the younger brother of the Schleck brothers, Andy Schleck, and defending champion Kontard were all spoilers at this point, and they all rushed ahead of Sanchez to cross the finish line first. Sanchez, on the other hand, was squeezed into fourth.

Fourth place is 26 climb points, so Zhang Guan can beat Sanchez even if he takes 1 more climb point.

Sanchez was helpless, he knew that the red and white spotted shirt was getting farther and farther away from him, although Zhang Guan did not rush to the front, but he has always been able to stand steadily in the top ten teams, which means that Zhang Guan can get 10 points for climbing.

……

"Zhang Guan, the 9th place rushed over the climb point! We congratulate Zhang Guan, who won the red and white spotted shirt two races in advance! ”

There was a round of applause around, everyone was celebrating Zhang Guan, but Zhang Guan went to check the results of the players for the first time.

At the end of stage 19, there are only three people left who are still eligible to compete for Yellowwood: Andy Schleck, Frank Schleck and Evans.

The gap between these three people and Zhang Guan is less than 2 minutes, and the gap between the fifth place and Zhang Guan has widened to more than 3 minutes, and with the last two stops left, it is impossible for the fifth place to catch up.

It was said that there were two last races, but in reality it could only be regarded as the last race, because the race of stage 21 was an honor ride, a moment of enjoying the joy of the championship, not so much a race, but a parade in Paris, where the riders could toast each other while drinking beer, driving through the streets of Paris, receiving congratulations from the spectators, and partying with the spectators. At this time, the riders at the back of the queue will not overtake the Douglas riders.

Therefore, the Tour de France competition has actually ended on the 20th stage, and the ranking after the 20th stage will determine the final winner of the championship.

Stage 20 is the only individual time trial stage of the Tour de France, with no sprints, no climbs, all flat and only 42.5 kilometres. And each driver starts individually, starting from the penultimate of the overall standings, one person starts every two minutes, and the top 20 finishers start every three minutes.

Under normal circumstances, the runners will finish the 42.5km race in less than 1 hour, so in the 20th stage, the difference of less than one minute is relatively easy to catch, and the difference of less than two minutes is still possible, and the total score is more than two points, and it is impossible to catch up.

It's a race of individual speed, everyone starts separately, and it's almost impossible to meet halfway through, without teamwork and without the help of teammates. In this stage of the race, the Tour de France returns to the original competition of racing - speed!

In the contest of speed, no one has ever been able to defeat Zhang Guan!

……

Stage 20 of the race.

Evans' heart was already in his throat as he completed the individual time trial with a time of 55 minutes and 40 seconds. Before that, the defending champion Contad, who reached the finish line first, had a time of 56 minutes and 39 seconds, which means that Contad has been completely out of luck.

There are three others still playing, in addition to the Schleck brothers, and Zhang Guan.

Big Schleck's overall time was only 4 seconds faster than Evans, so if Big Schleck was slower than 55 minutes and 44 seconds, Evans could move up one place.

Evans stared at his watch, and when the minutes moved, Evans breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Big Schleck had already surpassed 57 points in time, which meant that Evans's score had risen by one place.

Schleck's final time was 58:14, and he was pushed to fourth by Evans.

Next, it's up to my younger brother Schleck Jr.

Schleck Jr. finished 57 seconds ahead of Evans, nearly a one-minute gap.

Evans looked nervously at his watch again, and at the same time looked into the distance, he was afraid that little Schleck would appear in the field of vision in advance.

However, Schrek Jr. finished just three seconds faster than his brother, with a time of 58 minutes and 11 seconds, which was in the top 20 of all drivers, but 2 minutes and 39 seconds slower than Evans, and with the previous 57 seconds difference, Evans still had a more than one-minute lead.

"Great!" Evans flicked his fists excitedly, and he squeezed Schleck Jr. into second place. Next, if Zhang Guan's speed is outside of 57 minutes and 40 seconds, he will take the overall lead.

However, before Evans could put his fist down, cheers and applause in the distance had already sounded, and then, a yellow figure appeared on the horizon.

Yellow collar shirt, that's a crown!

Zhang Guan started three minutes slower than Evans Jr., but Evans Jr. had just arrived, and Zhang Guan had already appeared, which showed that Zhang Guan was much faster than Evans Jr.

"It's over, Zhang Guan's score must be within 57 minutes!" Evans' face turned pale.

……

"Zhang Guan, cross the finish line! In 56 minutes and 12 seconds, he has already managed to win the Tour de France! ”
