Chapter 475: Take a Championship by the Way (Make Up for the Debt 2)
At this time, Zhang Guan has entered the first conversion area, where Zhang Guan has to take off his waterproof jacket and swimming cap, find his bicycle, and then put on his shoes, run out of the conversion area and start riding his bicycle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This series of movements must be raced against time, in fact, the difference between the players in this area is not very large, as long as there are no mistakes, the difference is five or six seconds.
The layout of the transition zone is the most important factor affecting the time, and today's transition zone is relatively large, so the time spent by the contestants is about 1 minute and 5 seconds. Zhang Guan's speed was not slower than others, and he completed the actions of taking off his waterproof suit and finding a bicycle to change shoes in 1 minute 04 seconds, and then rushed out of the conversion area.
"Zhang Guan has started riding!" The camera did not hesitate to focus on Zhang Guan at this moment.
As the champion of the Tour de France, the moment Zhang Guan rode the bike, he naturally became the focus of the audience.
"Zhang Guan was a minute behind before, I don't know how long he will be able to catch up with the leading group?"
"After all, this is not a stationary start, but after 1.5 kilometers of swimming, the runners have gone through physical exertion, I estimate that Zhang Guan will not be able to ride as fast as the Tour de France."
"Even if the crown is slower than the Tour de France, it is definitely faster than the other competitors. If triathletes can reach the level of the Tour de France, they will not participate in triathlons, and they will go directly to professional cycling competitions, which will earn more than triathlons. ā
As this person said, triathletes can run, ride and swim, which seems to be very comprehensive, but in fact, comprehensive means that they are not good at anything. As far as domestic triathletes are concerned, they are mainly selected from swimmers, but all athletes with a relatively high level of swimming will not participate in triathlon, but continue to practice swimming, so those who are finally selected into the triathlon team are those who are more average.
The situation abroad is similar, athletes with a real high level of cycling must have gone to engage in professional cycling, and any professional cyclist is at a higher level than the triathlon athletes.
ā¦ā¦
The roads are not straight, and there are no spectators to be seen on the side of the road, most of Japan's countryside is sparsely populated, and Japan's main population is concentrated in cities, with more than one-third of Japan's population concentrated in the Tokyo area, and in non-urban areas, most of the people living in the elderly are naturally not very interested in triathlon.
The leading riders in front are basically still in a group, after all, the 40km bike ride has just begun, and there is not much gap between them.
Three Japanese, two Koreans and two Kazakhstans all alternated in the lead. This tactic of alternating the leader may not have much advantage in speed, but it can save more stamina.
Later, Zhang Guan's figure gradually appeared in the field of vision of the leading team, his speed was obviously faster than the other players, and the distance between the two sides was gradually shortening.
Tayama Kuanhao noticed that the two Kazakh players were chasing closer, so he involuntarily glanced back, but saw a lone player behind.
"It's a Chinese, the Chinese's bicycle level is still very poor, only a few kilometers after riding, it can't keep up with the big troops, it's single!" Tayama Kuanhao thought to himself.
Because there is a certain distance between the two sides, and Zhang Guan is still wearing a helmet and goggles, Tian Shan Kuanhao did not recognize Zhang Guan's identity at a glance, but judged that it was a Chinese player from the Chinese team uniform worn by Zhang Guan.
And Tian Shan Kuanhao never thought that Zhang Guan was rushing behind to catch up, he saw that Zhang Guan was some distance away from the big team, and thought that a certain player of the Chinese team couldn't keep up with the riding rhythm of the big team, so he fell behind.
Soon after, Tayama turned back again to confirm the Kazakh's position.
"The backward Chinese has disappeared and looks like he has been thrown out of sight." Tayama Kuanhao turned his head and continued to move forward, but Tayama Kuanhao always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.
After all, he is a veteran, having participated in the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games, and as a brother in Asia, he has participated in many international competitions, and more than ten years of competition experience has also brought him this intuition.
"Something is wrong!" Tayama turned back again, and this time, he found that behind the Kazakh athlete was a Chinese athlete.
"It's the guy just now! Could it be that he didn't throw away the big army, but chased after him! And the two Koreans he surpassed have already caught up behind the Kazakhstan team! How is this possible. Tian Shan Kuanhao looked carefully, and only then did he realize that the Chinese who caught up was actually Zhang Guan.
"It's Zhang Guan! Zhang Guan caught up! Tian Shan Kuanhao gasped, and couldn't help but panic in his heart.
At this time, the other players had also noticed the existence of Zhang Guan.
"It's Zhang Guan, did he catch up from behind?"
"How did Zhang Guan catch up, this is a leading group! If he can catch up here, doesn't it mean that his strength is on par with ours? ā
"Didn't the media report that Zhang Guan came here to sell advertisements, how can a person who sells advertisements enter the leading group!"
"Forty kilometers of riding, only ten minutes of riding, Zhang Guan has already caught up, is he not very far behind in the swimming stage?"
"Zhang Guan's speed is so fast, much faster than us! Oops, the position can't be held! He overtook him. ā
"How could anyone ride so fast? Is this the strength of the Tour de France champions? ā
Everyone had all kinds of ideas, and then watched Zhang Guan surpass himself, and then surpass the opponent in front of him, and ran to the front of everyone.
ā¦ā¦
At the finish line, there was a large TV in the press lounge area, and many reporters gathered around the TV to watch the live TV broadcast of the race.
"Zhang Guan is ahead!" A reporter said with a look of incredulity.
"Now the 40-kilometer ride is less than a quarter, why is Zhang Guan leading? Isn't he lagging behind in swimming? ā
"According to the official data, Zhang Guan's swimming time was 20 minutes and 03 seconds, and he was only 1 minute behind the leader!"
"Swimming only a minute behind? Now Zhang Guan is ahead, that is to say, Zhang Guan has caught up with this 1 minute time by bicycle? ā
"Cycling is Zhang Guan's strong point, and now it is less than a quarter of the way, Zhang Guan has already recovered 1 minute, according to this calculation, the next three-quarters of the race, he can still lead the second place by 3 minutes!"
"If he is the winner of the Tour de France, he can lead the second place by three minutes by relying on the bike, so wouldn't he have a good chance of winning the championship?"
"Winning the championship? How can it be? Isn't he here to sell advertisements? ā
"Do you still think that Zhang Guan is here to sell advertisements? Will the contestant who sells the advertisement run to the first place? ā
"I think Zhang Guan is really here to sell advertising, and by the way, he will win another championship!" (To be continued.) )
