Chapter 820: A Storm Is Coming (Third Watch)

On July 4th, the third stage of the Tour de France is still a flat stage. The total length of the route is 198 kilometers. There is a sprint point at 104 kilometers, and there is a four-level climbing point at 143 kilometers.

The game went on for another 4 hours and 40 minutes, but still no one could stop Zhang Guan from advancing.

The fourth stage, from Lorient to Brittany, has a total length of 172.5 kilometers, a flat stage; the fifth stage, from Carré to Cape Freire, a total length of 164.5 kilometers, a flat stage; the sixth stage , Dinan to Lisieux, a total length of 226.5 kilometers, a flat stage; the seventh stage, Le Mans to Chateauroux, a total length of 218 kilometers, a flat stage.

After a few days, one-third of the Tour de France has progressed, and the battle is getting more and more anxious. Several popular Huangshan players have gradually come to the fore, such as Hu Shuford of the American Mingjia team, and Evan of the US BMC Jingsi team. The Shrek Brothers of the Luxembourg Cheetah Team and Croden of the American Radio Studio Team all squeezed into the top ten ranks, while the defending champion Kontad, who performed poorly on flat roads, only ranked 24th. .

Zhang Guan still ranked first with a time of 28 hours, 29 minutes and 02 seconds. Hu Shuford, who was second, was 25 seconds behind Zhang Guan, and Evans, who was third, was also 26 seconds behind Zhang Guan.

The yellow jersey is still worn by Zhang Guan, and among all the players, Zhang Guan's sprint points and climbing points are also ranked first.

The first place in the flat stage will have 45 sprint points, so as long as you get the first place in several stages, the green jersey is easy to get.

As for the red and white spotted jersey, which represents the king of climbing, everyone’s climbing points are not high because they have been riding on the flat stage. Zhang Guan still has the red and white spotted jersey, but the points are not much ahead of others .

On July 9th, the eighth day of the Tour de France, the contestants finally entered the mountains in southern France, and at the same time ushered in the first hilly stage.

...

The eighth stage, from Egulande to Superbes, is a hilly stage with a total length of 189 kilometers.

In the hilly stage, another second-level climbing point finally appeared. The first place in the second-level climbing point can get 20 climbing points at once, and the first place in the fourth-level climbing point only has 5 points. Climbing points, that is to say, the points of a second-level climbing point are more than four fourth-level climbing points, so it is also a must for climbing players.

Today's secondary climbing point is set at the 164th kilometer, with an altitude of 1,451 meters. There is a 6.2-kilometer uphill road with an average gradient of 6.2%, and the steepest point reaches 7.7%. For many riders, it is very difficult to climb a second-level climbing point after riding 164 kilometers, so those players who do not pursue the climbing point have slowed down.

However, this does not affect the fierce competition of the players ahead.

...

Chateau was the climbing champion of last year's Tour de France. In this year's Tour de France, Chateau did not perform well in the first few stages of the flat stage. However, when entering the hilly stage, Chateau Teu finally ushered in his moment of performance.

However, Chateau is not without rivals. American van Garderen, Portuguese player Da Costa, and Spaniard Sanchez are all popular players for red and white spotted shirts, and they are also Chatau's main competitors.

But what Chatau didn't expect was that he and his old opponents didn't rush to the front, and it was a yellow figure who passed the climbing point first.

The yellow jersey, unique in the Tour de France!

There is no doubt that it is Zhang Guan.

"Zhang Guan got the climbing point! This is a second-level climbing point!" Chateau was full of depression. Thinking of the 20 points for the second-level climbing point, Chatau felt a burst of heartache. Wu also knew that today's red and white spotted shirt already belonged to Zhang Guan.

However, in the ninth stage of the competition, Chatau got his wish and put on the red and white spotted jersey, because Zhang Guan once again won four jerseys, and he could not wear four by himself, so he again After giving up the green jersey, spotted jersey and white jersey, Chatau also put on the red and white spotted jersey by virtue of his second place climbing points.

...

In the ninth stage, there are 3 second-level climbing points and 3 third-level climbing points. As for the 2 fourth-level climbing points at the end, the points are too small to be ignored.

The increase in climbing points made the competition for the climbing king more intense. In the end, Zhang Guan successfully won two second-level climbing points and one third-level climbing point, and continued to keep the spotted shirt without any danger. .

After the ninth stage, the Tour de France also entered a rest day. After two hilly stages, the rankings of the players have also undergone great changes. Those endurance players who are good at climbing have rushed to the front, and the gap between them has also been significantly widened. The treat that was only a second or two away no longer existed at this time.

Zhang Guan still ranks first in the total score, while the second place in the total score has become "emoji" Walker, the Spanish climbing master Sanchez came to the third place, Evans took the fourth place, and Shi The Lake Brothers ranked fifth and sixth respectively, and the defending champion Contad entered the top 20.

At this time, those who pay attention to the Tour de France have finally noticed that even in the hilly stage that requires climbing, no one can stop Zhang Guan.

...

Field Management Center.

"This Zhang Guan can really make a fuss. It seems that it is only a matter of time before he wins the Tour de France!" Director Ma put down the newspaper in his hand, and said to himself with a smile: "Those old fellows from the Cycling Association, It should be exciting for a while. If it works properly, it is not impossible to drive the domestic road cycling movement.”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then the secretary walked in.

"Director, over there in Monaco, our people just sent an email!" The secretary handed a folder to Director Ma.

Director Ma opened it and looked it over, his face suddenly became serious.

"How could such a thing happen! If this news is true, it will be a great blow to our track and field events." Director Ma raised his head and said: "Prepare the car, I'm going to the General Administration, this matter must be done Reported to the headquarters."

"Director, the authenticity of this news is not yet 100% confirmed. Isn't it too hasty to report to the leadership of the General Administration?" the secretary asked tentatively.

"If this matter is really settled, it will be too late! Besides, that old boy Sebastian has been targeting Zhang Guan. This kind of thing, I would rather believe it or not! There must be a lot of people in the General Administration relationship, now to report to the leader is to use the relationship of the General Administration to confirm the authenticity of this matter." Director Ma stood up and continued: "If it is true, we must stop it, and we will stop it at all costs cost!"
