Zhang Guan crossed the second timing point with a total time of 22 minutes and 58 seconds, which means that he took 14 minutes and 38 seconds to pass the second stage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, it wasn't just the result that shocked Wiggins, but the "22" that represented the minutes earlier, because it meant less than 23 minutes.

"Within 23 minutes! How can it be! He can pass the second timing point in less than 23 minutes! ”

Wiggins looked at the number in disbelief, and he even thought that the timing equipment was malfunctioning.

Wiggins had practiced on the track several times before the race, and the fastest time he had ever passed the second timing point was 23 minutes and 10 seconds. That's a full 12 seconds slower than Zhang's current record.

Wiggins is a bit better at the kind of complex stages that have a lot of ramps and turns, and Wiggins is definitely a lot faster than the others, and the shortest time he spent on the second stage was 14 minutes and 45 seconds. Wiggins, on the other hand, is convinced that any athlete in the world but himself spends more than 14 minutes and 50 seconds on the second stage.

But Wiggins' fastest time was still 7 seconds slower than Zhang's 14 minutes and 38 seconds. I am 7 seconds slower than others at the fastest time, where is there any hope of victory in this competition?

Fromm next to him was also stunned by Zhang Guan's achievement. Fromm is also one of the best cyclists in the world, but he will spend more than 15 minutes on the second stage, and in fact all the other top riders in the UK will test for more than 15 minutes, only Wiggins can ride a time of 14 minutes and 50 seconds.

Because of this, the British coaching team had already determined before the race that Wiggins would definitely win the individual time trial. The 10-second advantage, in the eyes of the world's top players, is simply unshakable.

But today, Fromm saw a political performance of less than 14 minutes and 40 seconds, which means that in the second stage alone, Zhang Guan was more than 20 seconds faster than himself, and at least 10 seconds faster than Wiggins!

This is also a 10-second advantage, which is also unshakable!

"Impossible, I'm already so familiar with the track, and at most it's a 15-minute ride, Zhang Guan is riding this track for the first time, how can he be so much faster than me! I don't believe it, I'm going to file a reconsideration of the results! Fromm felt that his mind was starting to get confused.

……

"Zhang Guan's total time was 22 minutes and 58 seconds, and he spent 14 minutes and 38 seconds on the second stage, which was only 1.9 kilometers longer than the first stage, but Zhang Guan spent 6 minutes and 18 seconds more. Germany's Martin carefully analyzed it and set himself a time of 14 minutes and 30 seconds.

Next to him, other players also set their own goals according to Zhang Guan's results.

Raseny, who started second, spent 16 minutes and 52 seconds on the second stage, and he had accumulated 26 minutes and 24 seconds through the second timing point. Bazaev, who started third, fared much better, taking 25 minutes and 57 seconds to pass the second timing point, followed by Iran's Hani in 26:07.

Hani was more than three minutes behind Zhang Guan at the first two timing points, and he started six minutes later than Zhang Guan, adding up to a gap of more than nine minutes, and by the time he passed the second timing point, Zhang Guan was already close to the end of the race.

The whole course is 34.6 km, so the length of the final third stage is 11.1 km, which is a bit longer than the first stage, but much shorter than the second stage.

In terms of road conditions, the third stage is also much better than the second stage, the only problem is that when the athletes ride here, they will consume more energy, so the speed is not as fast as the previous one.

Wiggins looked at the finish line, and he had a hunch that Zhang Guan would soon appear at the end of the track.

"It's coming!" At the edge of the track in the distance, a black dot appeared, and as the black dot got closer, it was already visible that the other party was wearing a red racing suit.

That's Zhang Guan.

Wiggins looked at his watch, his face suddenly tightened, he knew that if it was him, it would be impossible to end the whole race so quickly.

The drivers in the waiting area looked at Zhang Guan one after another, as the first driver to start, it is most normal to be the first to come back, so the drivers are more concerned with Zhang Guan's results.

Hampton Court Palace in the distance came into view of Zhang Guan, and the walls of the red-brick abandoned city were surrounded by a patch of green grass and trees, which was particularly conspicuous.

Zhang Guan entered the final big straight and began to sprint towards the finish line.

"Whoosh!" A red figure sped past the finish line, and the time of the race was finally fixed at 34 minutes and 10 seconds.

This means that Zhang Guan spent a total of 11 minutes and 12 seconds in the third time period.

"34 minutes and 10 seconds!" Wiggins had a hint of bitterness on his face, a feat he had never achieved. In the previous practice session, his fastest time was only 34 minutes and 33 seconds, and Zhang Guan was already 23 seconds faster than Wiggins's fastest time.

"34 minutes and 10 seconds? I would never have been able to ride this fast in my lifetime. Wiggins lowered his head, his face full of despair. This feeling is even more uncomfortable than when he lost the gold medal in the road race.

In the July 28 road race, all the competitors started together, and Wiggins only learned that he had lost at the end of the race. Today, the players are split-car, Zhang Guan is still the first to start, and when Zhang Guan finishes the race, Wiggins has not started his own race.

But for Wiggins, the game was lost before it even started!

From an athlete's point of view, especially a player who wants to win a championship, there is nothing more painful than this result. If it is in the competition, because the strength is not as good as the opponent, the result is to lose the game, that is a common thing, the athlete has also worked hard in the game, has fought hard in the game, and lost the skill is not as good as others.

But today, in the face of a time of 34 minutes and 10 seconds, Wiggins no matter how hard he tried, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see any hope of victory. This feeling of aggrieved made Wiggins want to hug his head and cry fiercely.

At this moment, in the British team, whether it is the two participating athletes or the members of the coaching staff, there is no morale.

"It's better to lose again! At that time, we felt better, but now we are good, we lost before we even started the competition! Which damn idiot made Zhang Guan the first to set off, isn't this a clear blow to our morale? If we let Zhang Guan start a little further back, let us not know Zhang Guan's results, we can still keep some morale! The coach of the British team couldn't help but curse the person who arranged Zhang Guan to be the first to start.

Sebastian, sitting in the office, is still complacent about his "wise decision......
