Chapter 818: One Person Fights Against One Team (One Update)

The second stage of the race starts at 2:30 in the afternoon. There will be a team starting every seven minutes. There are a total of 22 teams including Zhang Guan, an independent driver. The starting time is only after 5:00 in the afternoon.

The start order of the team is also arranged according to the ranking. Zhang Guan's score is ranked first, so he will be the last one to start. The race will tell him that the start time is 5:04.

So Zhang Guan was not in a hurry, he found a place to sit down, and then swiped the latest game information with his mobile phone.

The first team to be penalized is the Danish Saxo Bank team, which is a veteran team in the Tour de France. He didn't perform well, and the total score was the last.

Twenty-five minutes later, Zhang Guan's mobile phone updated with the latest race results. Saxo Bank's score was 25 minutes and 16 seconds.

The first result is often the benchmark for each team. However, Saxo Bank is a strong team after all, and their benchmark is not so easy to surpass. The results of the next four teams are far inferior to the Saxo Bank team. It was not until more than an hour after the race that the Dutch Rapobank team surpassed the Danish Saxo Bank team with a score of 25 points.

"The American Garmin team created the best time, 24 minutes and 48 seconds!" Zhang Guan was attracted by a voice. He put down his drink and immediately checked the latest race information.

The American Garmin team, led by the main driver Hu Shuford, ran a time of 24.48 seconds, and Hu Shuford also ranked first among all drivers with a total time of 5 hours, 06 minutes and 25 seconds.

"Thor Hushuford?" Zhang Guan recalled the player information carefully. In fact, most of the player information was just seen by Zhang Guan last night. He hadn't paid much attention to the Tour de France before. Not much is known about French cyclists.

Hu Shuford, nicknamed "Thor", is a very fast driver. His sprint ability is very strong. He once won the sprint king in the world's top cycling events such as the Tour de France and Spain. One of the favorites for the Tour de France green jersey.

"Hu Shuford tied for fourth place with other players in the first stage. He was 21 seconds slower than me before, which means that I must complete the second stage within 25 minutes and 09 seconds. Competition." Zhang Guan silently calculated in his heart.

The British Sky team ran a good result of 24 minutes and 52 seconds, and then the American Radio team also successfully ran within 25.

The last three starting teams are the Luxembourg Cheetah Racing Team, the American BMC Racing Team and the Belgian Lottery Racing Team. Zhang Guan does not know their results, because when the Belgian Lottery Racing Team starts, it will be Zhang Guan's turn.

...

"Kadell, I'll leave it to you!" The "rabbit" of the team gave way to Kadel Evans.

Evans lowered his head and began to sprint with all his strength. As the leader of the team, he must rush to the front to achieve better results for the team.

"The American BMC race is coming! Evans took the lead and crossed the line! How is the result? Did you surpass the American Garmin team?" The commentator stared at the screen, and then the TV showed the race time used by the American BMC team .

"24 minutes and 52 seconds! In this way, Evans' total time became 5 hours, 06 minutes and 26 seconds, and he was only 1 second slower than Hu Shuford!"

"Is it still a second slower!" Evans shook his head with some disappointment. Evans' results in the first race were better, so if the total time is the same, Evans will get Huangshan, It's a pity that Evans is still 1 second slower.

"But it doesn't matter. Hu Shuford's advantage lies in his sprinting ability. His climbing level is relatively average. When it comes to the mountainous or hilly stages behind, I can easily recover the 1-second gap." Evans While thinking, he looked at the driver's overall score list.

Among the top ten, Hushuford's American Garmin Racing Team has two seats, Evans' American BMC Racing Team has two seats, British Sky Racing Team has two seats, and the remaining four players belong to the Luxembourg Cheetahs. convoy.

"The Luxembourg Cheetahs are very strong this year!" Elvis sighed inwardly.

The Luxembourg Cheetah team has the Schleck brothers, and the time trial king Cancellara.

The Schleck brothers come from a cycling family, their father was a professional cyclist. Elder brother Frank Schleck won the white jersey of the Tour de France in 2008, while his younger brother Andy Schleck won the runner-up of the Tour de France last year. Both of them are popular candidates to win the championship. But now, the two brothers have all squeezed into the top ten, which also made Evans feel a little pressure.

"I was 1 second slower than the first place, and the tenth place was only 3 seconds slower than me, which means that the gap between the top ten is only 4 seconds! This year's competition is as fierce as previous years ah!"

Evans was thinking about the ranking of the players when someone shouted suddenly, which attracted his attention.

"The people from the Belgian Lottery are coming!" the province shouted, which not only alarmed Evans, but also alarmed everyone, whether it was the driver or the audience, they all focused their attention on the finish line.

In the distance, players from the Belgian Lotto team appeared in everyone's sight.

Evans looked at his watch for the first time, but then became calm.

"The Belgian Lotto is already slow! They should have started at 4:47 and now it's 5:12 and they're over 25 minutes away!"

Sure enough, the Belgian Lotto team's final score was 25 minutes and 27 seconds, which can only be regarded as average among the 22 teams.

The American Garmin team has already begun to celebrate, and the teammates sent hugs to Hu Shuford.

"The results of the Belgian Lotto team are very mediocre. In this way, all 22 teams have completed their second stage of the race. Hu Shuford from the American Garmin team still retained the first place, although only 1 second The leading advantage, but it is also the advantage of 1 second, so that he won the yellow jersey!" As a guest, Shinauer continued: "The Tour de France is so intense and exciting, although two timing periods have passed , the cumulative distance has reached more than 210 kilometers, but we can see that the first place only has an advantage of 1 second, and the gap between the top ten is only 4 seconds!"

"However, the race is not over yet. Zhang Guan, who is participating as an independent rider, is still in the race. Although he lost his yellow jersey, he still keeps the green jersey, red and white spotted jersey and white jersey." The member spoke.

"Next, we will wait for Zhang Guan to cross the finish line, and then the award ceremony will be held. Everyone, please wait a moment, Zhang Guan is only 7 minutes late for the Belgian Lotto team, and he should appear soon."

While Xinauer was speaking, the camera also cut to the front of Zhang Guan, which was captured by the photographer on the motorcycle who had been following in front of Zhang Guan.

On the screen, Zhang Guan is galloping. From the distance of the camera, you can see the attractive rural scenery in the west of France, and a signboard standing in the field is particularly conspicuous.

"That's the signboard of La Millet Wine Estate!" Evans looked at the TV at the final point. He knew that this was a famous wine estate in western France. When he passed by, Evans paid special attention to it. the signboard.

"Zhang Guan set off at 5:04, and now it is 5:25, that is to say, it took Zhang Guan 21 minutes to get to the Lamillaite Red Wine Manor. When I got there, it seemed to take 21 minutes. Minutes? Can it be said that Zhang Guan is as fast as me? How is this possible! We are a team, and he is just one person!"

The first shift was delivered, and today the tenth shift will start, asking for a guaranteed monthly pass.
