Chapter 821 Dominating the Tour De France (Fourth Update)

Chapter 821 Dominating the Tour de France (fourth update)

The Tour de France is still going on in an orderly manner, especially after entering the south of France, the hilly and mountainous stages gradually increase, and the physical consumption of the players is also increasing.

Going all the way along the mountains in the south of France, the race finally came from the southwest of France to the southeast of France. In the seventeenth stage, it entered Italy, and then in the eighteenth stage, it returned from Italy to France.

The four jerseys have always been owned by Zhang Guan. Although Zhang Guan did not win the championship in every stage after entering the mountainous area, it is impossible for Zhang Guan's main competitors to win the championship every time. What Huangshan compares is the total score, as long as the total score is ahead, Huangshan can always be kept.

When the Tour de France entered the second half, the situation became more and more clear. In terms of total scores, the drivers behind had opened up a big gap, and the competition among the top ten drivers became increasingly fierce.

...

On July 22, the nineteenth stage of the Tour de France came, from Modane to Alpe Dier, with a total length of 109.5 kilometers. This is the last mountain stage of this Tour de France, and the entire stage With two of the most advanced climbs in , this will be the last chance if you want to compete for the polka dot jersey.

The highest climbing point, that is, the HC grade climbing point, is the longest and steepest climbing point, and it is more difficult than the first grade climbing point. The player who conquers the most advanced climbing point first can get 40 climbing points.

The two most advanced climbing points, if they all get the first place, they will have 80 climbing points, which is a decisive score, enough for the driver to complete the reversal of the climbing points at the last moment, and therefore, this race The competition for the climbing king has entered the most intense stage.

"Sanchez of the Spanish 11-man team, he was the first to cross the most advanced climbing point and got 40 climbing points! There is only 3 points between him and Zhang Guan, and the ownership of the red and white dotted shirt is still in suspense !"

"Zhang Guan, fifth! He is the fifth driver to cross the highest climbing point, and he will get 22 climbing points. Counting the three points leading before, Sanchez is 25 points behind! And the last two There are no climbing points in the stage of the competition, which means that on the next highest climbing point, Sanchez must lead Zhang Guan by 25 points before he can finally win the red and white spotted jersey!"

"The highest climbing point, the top 15 passers can get points, the points are 40, 35, 30, 26, 22, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 , if Sanchez still crosses the climbing point first, Zhang Guan only needs to get a seventh place to beat Sanchez by 1 point! And if Sanchez can't get the top four, even Zhang Guan If you don't score a point at the next climbing point, you can also win the ultimate climbing king!"

Sanchez seems to feel that the next highest climbing point is his last chance, but the last climbing point is located before the finish line, so passing the climbing point faster means passing the finish line faster, not only Only Sanchez wants to win, and several other favorites also want to win, because this is also related to the competition for the yellow jersey.

Evans, the younger brother of the Schleck brothers Andy Schleck, and the defending champion Contad all became spoilers at this time. They all rushed in front of Sanchez and tried to cross the finish line first. And Sanchez was squeezed to fourth.

The fourth place has 26 climbing points, so Zhang Guan can beat Sanchez even if he gets one more climbing point.

Sanchez was very helpless. He knew that the red and white spotted shirt was getting farther and farther away from him. Although Zhang Guan did not rush to the front, he has been able to stand steadily in the top ten teams. That is to say, Zhang Guan can get 10 Points for climbing points.

...

"Zhang Guan, the 9th place crossed the climbing point! Our congratulations to Zhang Guan, he locked the red and white spotted jersey two races ahead of schedule!"

There was applause all around, and everyone was celebrating for Zhang Guan, but Zhang Guan was the first to check the results of the players.

At the end of the 19th stage, there are only three people left who are still qualified to compete with Zhang Guan for Huangshan: Andy Schleck, Frank Schleck and Evans.

The gap between these three people and Zhang Guan is within 2 minutes, and the gap between the fifth and Zhang Guan has widened to more than 3 minutes. With the last two races left, it is impossible for the fifth to catch up.

It is said that there are still two last races, but in fact it can only be regarded as the last battle, because the 21st stage race is an honor ride, it is a moment to enjoy the joy of the championship, it is not so much a race as a parade in Paris , the contestants can drink beer while toasting each other, driving on the streets of Paris, accepting congratulations from the audience, and carnival with the audience. At this time, the drivers behind will not overtake the Huangshan driver.

Therefore, the Tour de France competition actually ended at the 20th stage, and the ranking after the 20th stage will determine the final champion.

The 20th stage is the only individual time trial stage of the Tour de France. There is no sprint point or climbing point in this stage. It is all flat ground, and the distance is only 42.5 kilometers. Moreover, each driver starts separately. Starting from the last one in the total score, one person will start every two minutes, and the top 20 in the total score will start every three minutes.

Under normal circumstances, players will finish the 42.5km race within an hour, so in the 20th stage, it is relatively easy to catch up with a gap of less than one minute, and it is possible to catch up with a gap of less than two minutes. The total score exceeds Two points, it is impossible to catch up.

This is a pure competition of personal speed. Everyone starts separately, and it is almost impossible to meet in the middle. There is no team cooperation and no help from teammates. In this stage of the competition, the Tour de France has returned to the most primitive contest of racing sports - speed!

In the contest of speed, no one can beat Zhang Guan!

...

The twentieth stage of the game.

Evans' heart was already in his throat. He had just completed the individual time trial in 55 minutes and 40 seconds. Before that, the defending champion Kontad, who was the first to reach the finish line, scored 56 minutes and 39 seconds, which means that Kontad was completely missed.

There are three people still playing, besides the Schleck brothers, there is also Zhang Guan.

The elder brother Schleck's total score is only 4 seconds faster than Evans, so if the speed of Schleck is slower than 55 minutes and 44 seconds, Evans can rise one.

Evans stared at the watch. When the minutes changed, Evans let out a sigh of relief. He knew that the time spent by Big Schleck had exceeded 57 minutes, which meant that Evans' score had risen by another one.

Big Schleck's final score was 58 minutes and 14 seconds, and he was squeezed to fourth by Evans.

Next, it will be up to my younger brother Shrek.

Schleck's total score is 57 seconds ahead of Ai Evans, which is close to a 1-minute gap.

Evans stared nervously at his watch again, while looking into the distance, he was afraid that little Shrek would appear in his field of vision ahead of time.

However, the final result of Schleck Jr. was only 3 seconds faster than his elder brother, with a time of 58 minutes and 11 seconds. Although he could rank in the top 20 among all drivers, he was 2 minutes and 39 seconds slower than Evans. With a gap of 57 seconds, Evans still has a lead of more than a minute.

"Great!" Evans waved his fist excitedly, and he squeezed Schleck into the second position. Next, if Zhang Guan's speed is beyond 57 minutes and 40 seconds, he will take the lead in the overall score.

However, before Evans put down his fist, cheers and applause sounded in the distance, and then, a yellow figure appeared on the horizon.

Yellow jersey, that's Zhang Guan!

Zhang Guan started three minutes later than Evans Jr., but just after Evans Jr. arrived, Zhang Guan had already appeared, which showed that Zhang Guan was much faster than Evans Jr.

"It's over, Zhang Guan's score must be within 57 minutes!" Evans' face turned pale.

...

"Zhang Guan, cross the finish line! At 56 minutes and 12 seconds, he has successfully won the championship of this year's Tour de France!"
