All-round Athlete

Chapter 810 Supply Area (Fifth Watch)

The supply point for the first stage is located at the 104km Luo Nai, which is a famous red wine producing area in France.

During the World War I Tour de France, athletes often have to ride continuously for four to five hours. It is absolutely impossible to have no supplies in the middle. They ride nearly 200 kilometers without eating or drinking, and they have to maintain an average speed of more than 40 kilometers. , no athlete can carry it.

Therefore, in the Tour de France, among the nine contestants in the team, there must be two or three riders carrying a special backpack with a water bottle in it to provide water and energy supplements for other team members, especially the main driver.

In addition, the Tour de France also has a food supply station. Within the scope of the food supply station, the staff of each team will pass the supply belt to the riders, and the staff of the race will also prepare food and water. Handed to the driver in this area. In addition to the supply area, the Tour de France Organizing Committee also has motorcycles that provide beverages. As long as drivers encounter such motorcycles, they can reach out for drinks.

In addition, the surrounding spectators can also give food to the drivers, but no driver will accept food and water from strangers, and the competition also specifically stipulates that if you eat something given by the spectators, you will not be responsible for any accidents.

Under normal circumstances, in the supply station area, drivers will not attack their opponents. This is an unspoken rule of the Tour de France, so in the supply station, drivers will also slow down, and teammates pass food and water to each other. regain strength.

It is also because of this feature that more spectators and reporters will gather in the supply area, because in this stage, the participating drivers can be photographed or contacted at a relatively close distance.

At this time, in the supply area, both reporters and spectators were all looking at the track in the distance, and they were looking forward to the arrival of the drivers.

"It's here! It's finally here!"

"Who is the first?"

"It's too far away, I can't see clearly. It's the driver of the Belgian Lotto team! It shouldn't be Gilbert, maybe it's Van den Brock?"

The staff of the Belgian Lotto team immediately got busy. One of them grabbed the supply belt and rushed to the side of the track, while the other pulled out a big sign to signal the players to come and receive supplies.

The staff of the other teams around stepped aside one after another. At this time, it was convenient for others and no one would make trouble.

"Come here!" The reporter raised the camera and aligned the lens, but the next moment, he whispered, "Why is there only one person?"

Only then did other people notice that there was indeed only one person coming from afar.

It is very rare for a person to lead a ride in the front. The Tour de France is also a sport that requires teamwork. If you are in charge, a team does not need to send 9 riders, although the final results are good. The leader of each team, but the help of other drivers is also indispensable. Unless it is for sprint points or climbing points, there are very few drivers who act alone.

The sprint point of this stage is at 84 kilometers, and the players have already passed that position, so when this stage should test the teamwork, there should not be a certain driver who rides the dust.

After discovering that Zhang Guan was alone, all the teams turned their attention to the Belgian Lotto team.

The staff of the Belgian Lotto team also looked unhappy, and one of them even complained: "Which guy rushed to the front by himself, doesn't he know that now is the time for teamwork!"

Zhang Guan entered the supply area, and he saw the sign held by the Belgian Lottery team and the supply belt sticking out from a distance, but Zhang Guan didn't get close to it, he knew it was for the Belgian Lottery team The riders prepared, and perhaps the distribution of food and water in each supply belt is specific to whom, if he took it rashly, it might affect the tactical arrangements of other athletes in the Belgian lottery team.

There is a sign ahead, which is the public supply area of ​​the competition, and official staff will provide food and water.

"Here! Here! Oh, how did it pass! Didn't he see me?" The staff member of the Belgian Lotto team kept waving, but found that Zhang Guanlian didn't pay attention to him at all, and flew past him. Moreover, Zhang Guan's speed was too fast, and the supply personnel of the Belgian Lotto team didn't even see Zhang Guan's appearance clearly.

"This is that guy, why don't you even need a supply belt!" The supply officer from the Belgian Lottery looked surprised, and then he found that Zhang Guan went directly to the public supply area.

"What is he doing? Is he going to the public supply area to get supplies?" Several supply personnel of the Belgian Lotto team showed embarrassing expressions at the same time.

"Hey, what's the matter with your team, the drivers actually go to the public supply area to get things? Don't you even save money on supplies?" Next to you, a member of the Belgian Quick-Step team asked with a smile.

Kuaibu and Lotto are both Belgian teams, and they are quite familiar with each other, so they can joke around.

"Who is that guy? It's not that our team didn't provide him with supplies. Why did he go to the public supply area to get things? It's so embarrassing! Now he has become the laughing stock of other teams!"

"There is a number on the back, number 207, who is number 207, you have to ask him carefully when you go back, what's going on? Why didn't you get the supplies!"

"Is there a number 207 in the Tour de France?" the Belgian Quick-Step team's supply man next to him interjected.

With such a reminder, everyone remembered that there are 22 teams in the Tour de France, each team has 9 people, and there are only 198 people participating in the competition.

"Didn't this guy deliberately pretend to be a racing driver to make trouble? After all, our team's uniforms and racing cars can be bought on the official website." A lottery supply man said.

"Impossible, don't you see that the motorcycle in front of him is the official motorcycle, this can't be faked, if the number 207 came to make trouble, it would have been stopped by the official motorcycle , How could you still help him open the way! And have you noticed that the photographer's lens on the motorcycle has been facing the number 207." Another person said immediately.

"I remembered! It's a guest! Isn't there ten guests this time? They are numbered 199 to 208, and the number 207 just now is one of the guests!"

"So it's a guest, who is that?"

"Wearing the team uniform of our Belgian Lotto team, that must be Zhang Guan! Our team spent 100,000 euros for him to wear this suit!" said a supply man of the Lotto team proudly. .

"No wonder he looks like an oriental person. I thought I was mistaken. It turned out to be Zhang Guan!" Someone next to him seemed to be wise after the fact.

"But why did Zhang Guan appear here? Shouldn't he be interacting with the fans at the back? Why did he come to the front? Could it be that he was riding faster than the riders?"

"The guests are faster than the participating drivers! What are you kidding!"

"Then how do you explain that Zhang Guan was the first to appear in the supply area?"

"Maybe the other drivers went the wrong way..."

As soon as the man finished speaking, he saw a large group of people approaching on the horizon.

Apparently the other drivers weren't going the wrong way, they were just a little bit slower...
