The end of the second stage.
"Zhang Guan is here!" With a loud shout, Zhang Guan appeared on the horizon.
"Just after 5:28, it took Zhang Guan less than 25 minutes to reach this position. This is definitely faster than the Lotto team! At least half a minute faster!" Evans was shocked, Belgian Lotto The team's time was 25 minutes and 27 seconds. If Zhang Guan was half a minute faster than Lotto Team, that means his final time would be within 25 minutes.
"It's impossible. There are only six teams that can enter within 25 minutes. How can Zhang Guan alone be able to match the team's teamwork!" Evans thought as he looked into the distance, only to find that Zhang Guan was driving as fast as lightning. rushed over.
"Zhang Guan's speed is really fast!" At this time, even Evans had to admit that Zhang Guan's sprint speed was not weaker than his own sprint in the final stage.
"Crossing the line! 24 minutes and 47 seconds!" After the staff on site had just announced the result, they looked at Zhang Guan as if they were seeing a monster.
"24 minutes and 47 seconds? That's right! The American Garmin team is the fastest among the 22 teams. Theirs only achieved a time of 24 minutes and 48 seconds. That's amazing enough. How could Zhang Guan be faster? Garmin Racing Team is even 1 second faster!”
"I don't believe it. There must be a malfunction in the timing equipment. How can a person riding alone be faster than the alternate leader of the team?"
“A person’s ride is at least 1 minute slower than a group of people taking turns leading the ride. I can understand Zhang Guanruo’s 26-minute ride, but within 25 minutes, it’s unlikely!
"Re-review Zhang Guan's time, we ask for a re-review of Zhang Guan's time!" The team leader of the American Garmin Racing Team directly approached the race stewards and asked for a re-review of Zhang Guan's race time.
After all, Hu Shuford of the American Garmin Racing Team was first in the overall score before this, but Zhang Guan’s speed was 1 second faster than that of the Mingjia Racing Team. In addition, Zhang Guan’s 21 seconds lead in the first stage, Hu Shufu's total time was actually 22 seconds slower than Zhang Guan, and the yellow jersey must have flown away.
The race stewards agreed and allowed the Garmin team leader to watch from the sidelines.
…
In the TV studio, Schnauer looked embarrassed. Before the start of the race, he also vowed that Zhang Guan would be 1 minute slower than the others and lose the yellow jersey. However, the final time displayed on the TV screen was 24 minutes and 47 seconds. Zhang Guan's result ranked first, and again surpassed 198 contestants at once.
"Now the competition committee is reviewing the final results. We are not yet sure whether Zhang Guan's score of 24 minutes and 47 seconds is valid." The commentator began to help Schinauer.
However, Shinauer had recovered after the embarrassment just now, and even made up a set of excuses in his mind.
"Actually, it is possible for one person to ride at such a speed, which requires athletes to constantly sprint at high speed. Of course, it is difficult for ordinary riders to do this, but Zhang Guan may not be able to do it. We all know that Zhang Guan Zhang Guan is the world record holder at three levels of sprint events, and he is also the world record holder at two levels of middle distance running. Therefore, Zhang Guan is first-rate in both explosive power and physical strength. Therefore, Zhang Guan is the world record holder. It is possible to maintain a 25-minute sprint!" Schnauer said in a "brick-minded" tone.
The commentator glanced at Shinauer involuntarily, and gave a thumbs up secretly. This Shinauer turned around faster than flipping through a book. What he said not long ago, he immediately made a 180-degree turn. This shameless guy Thickness, it would be a shame not to do sports commentary!
…
Zhang Guan was panting heavily, and sprinting for 25 consecutive minutes consumed a lot of energy.
In fact, Zhang Guan does not need to ride so fast. He only needs to ride within 25 minutes and 9 seconds to continue to have the yellow jersey. But when Zhang Guan set off, the results of the Luxembourg Cheetah Racing Team, the American BMC Racing Team and the Belgian Lotto Racing Team had not yet come out. Zhang Guan was worried that one of their teams would surpass the American Garmin Team's 24 minutes and 48 seconds, so Zhang Guan While riding, Guan deliberately speeded up.
As for the review of the final score, Zhang Guan was not worried. There was also a time reminder in the system in his mind, and the time of 24 minutes and 47 seconds was accurate.
…
The team leader of the American Garmin team returned to the team.
"How's it going? How's the result of the score review?" The team members immediately gathered around, especially Hu Shufud, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Accurate! There's nothing wrong with Zhang Guan's time. It's 24 minutes and 47 seconds!" the team leader said.
Hu Shuford was stunned on the spot.
He originally thought that the yellow jersey was his, but what he didn't expect was that the cooked duck flew away again.
"It seems that Zhang Guan's first place victory yesterday was not an accident!" The leader of the Jiaming Racing Team sighed, and then said: "This is a team. Even without the help of his teammates, Zhang Guan can still get the first place." One, I think Zhang Guan will replicate his past experience again!"
"Past experience?" Hu Shufud was a little confused.
"Have you ever seen Zhang Guan lose in track and field, tennis, basketball, racing, and speed skating?" The leader sighed: "It seems that the championship of this year's Tour de France will most likely be Zhang Guan's. Take advantage of it!"
…
Evans scowled.
"Zhang Guan is the fastest, doesn't that mean the yellow jersey still belongs to him? I won't accept it!"
Evans is indeed very unwilling. In recent years, he has always been the favorite to win the Tour de France, but he missed the championship every time. In this year's Tour de France, the defending champion Contade was in average condition. Evans originally thought that his chance had come, but he didn't expect to win halfway.
"No, I haven't counted yet. It's not time to give up yet! This is just a competition on flat terrain, and there are mountainous and hilly sections behind it. Zhang Guan's climbing level may not be as strong as when he was on flat terrain. I'm still Have the opportunity!"
Hope once again reignited in Evans's heart.
…
Yesterday, Zhang Guan defeated 198 drivers by himself, and today, Zhang Guan defeated 22 teams by himself!
The teamwork of the 22 teams does not have any advantage over Zhang Guan. Of course, judging from the results, teamwork is still useful. Zhang Guan was only 1 second ahead of the second place today. In yesterday's game, Zhang Guan was Guan leads the second place by 15 seconds.
The yellow jersey is still owned by Zhang Guan, and the remaining three jerseys are still owned by Zhang Guan.
…
On July 3, the competition for the second stage of the 2011 Tour de France ended, and Zhang Guan continued to win four jerseys...
