Chapter 817

On July 2, the second stage of the Tour de France is about to start.

Zhang Guan's racing car is still provided by the Belgian Lotto team, and the Lotto team even sent a technician to Zhang Guan to debug and maintain the bicycle for Zhang Guan. For Belgian Lottery, which has more than 50 logistics support personnel, one or two less technicians has no effect, but for Zhang Guan, it is an urgent need. After all, the technical support team sent by the domestic bicycle association is still on the way. In just one day, it was difficult for Zhang Guan to recruit suitable candidates.

A professional kilometer bike is worth a fortune, but the lotto team can still afford to give it away. Being able to let Zhang Guan ride in his own team's car, even if it costs money, is worth it. Of course, the lottery team, which is good at engaging in fan economy, will not let go of this opportunity to gain a sense of presence. The lottery team's official website mall is even planning to launch a Chinese one.

Businessmen have a keen sense of smell, and domestic e-commerce companies have to go one step further. When they knew that Zhang Guan was riding a car of the Lotto team, they had already contacted the Belgian Lotto team, planning to create a Zhang Guan with the same style in the car. It is sold on the e-commerce platform, and those copycat markets are also gearing up, preparing to make some copycat Zhang Guan with the same style to make a lot of money.

As for the competition uniforms, Zhang Guan did not continue to spread the lottery competition uniforms. He already had a sponsorship contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars, including the world's largest sports brand. The French headquarters of this brand rushed to make a set for Zhang Guan overnight. The racing suit was sent to Zhang Guan.

Of course, the racing uniform is yellow, which symbolizes the first yellow jersey in the overall score. Only Zhang Guan is eligible to wear it in the race.

According to the rules of the Tour de France, players who have a jersey must wear a jersey to participate in the competition. Players who have multiple jerseys must choose the jersey with the highest rank. The rest of the jerseys will be worn by the second runners.

Although Zhang Guan won four jerseys in yesterday's race, he can only wear one of them. The green jersey, the spotted jersey and the white jersey will be worn in the second place in sprint points and the second in climbing points respectively. And the rookie second player. However, those who belong to the green jersey, spotted jersey and white jersey still belong to Zhang Guan, and the others are only worn by Zhang Guan.

The second stage of the race is a team time trial, the only stage in the entire Tour de France that is a team time trial. The total length of the race is only 23 kilometers. For professional racers, it only takes about 25 minutes to complete the race.

The rules of the race are also different from yesterday. Yesterday, everyone started the race together, while in the team time trial, the race is started in units of teams. Each team’s 9 drivers start together, and the starting interval of each team is 7 minutes.

...

Cadel Evans looked at the spotted shirt on his body, feeling rather uncomfortable.

According to the regulations, Zhang Guan, who won the first place, will naturally wear the yellow jersey for the race, and at the same time give up the green jersey, spotted jersey and white jersey. The second place Gilbert is also the second and second in sprint points. In the second place of climbing points, he will replace Zhang Guanchuan in the green jersey.

As for the spotted jersey, it will continue to be postponed to the third place in the climbing points, and Evans happens to be the third place, so he picked up this spotted jersey.

Although the red and white spotted jersey is a bit ugly, it is still a unique jersey, but Evans feels that this spotted jersey is extremely awkward to wear on his body.

Not far away, Gilbert, wearing a green jersey, was taking selfies with his mobile phone.

Hey, your green jersey looks good. Belgian Lotto also bought you a white helmet. Now you look like a knight of the round table! A driver walked forward with a smile.

This is not my green jersey, it's Zhang Guan's. He got all four jerseys yesterday, and one person can't wear so many. I was also lucky and picked up a sprint king's Green jersey! To be honest, my sprint ability is still far behind the green jersey! Gilbert said with a smile. He and Zhang Guan had been temporary teammates for a day, and they had a relatively harmonious relationship with each other, so Zhang Guan was mentioned in the conversation.

However, Evans next to him turned blue when he heard the words

No wonder I think this red and white spotted shirt is awkward. It's because of Zhang Guan. This dress originally belonged to Zhang Guan! Evans felt even more depressed at this moment, and he wished he could take off the dress as soon as possible. He fell down and threw it on the ground, and Gilbert's words stung Evans' nerves even more.

This spotted jersey fell on my head because there were too many jerseys that Zhang Guan could not wear. No! It should be that Zhang Guan and Gilbert couldn't wear it, so it fell on my head. Then what am I? ? Why does it feel like a trash picker!

Thinking of this, Evans' heart was extremely congested. The day before yesterday, he had greatly belittled Zhang Guan, and one day later, he wanted to pick up Zhang Guan's tatters and wear them on his body!

What made Evans even more depressed was that some riders around came forward to congratulate Evans, congratulating him on putting on the spotted jersey, which made Evans feel even more ashamed.

Did you congratulate others for picking up the trash! Evans lowered his head, wishing to cover his face so that no one could recognize him.

...

In the studio of the TV station, Shinauer sat with the commentator as a guest.

Shinauer is a Frenchman. He won the Tour de France in 1978, 1979, 1981 and 1982, so he is also a four-time Tour de France champion.

In yesterday's race, Zhang Guan won the championship and won four jerseys. After the race, we got the news that Zhang Guan participated in the Tour de France as a guest. To be honest, When I first heard the news, I thought it was an April Fool's joke! The narrator said with a smile.

It's really a shame that the participating drivers lost to the guests. I think all the participating drivers will find their way back today! Shinauer continued: And today is a team time trial. Huangshan will definitely change hands.

The camera focused on Shinauer, and he went on to say: Team time trial, the drivers of each team start together, so teammates can lead each other and save energy for the general. Zhang Guan only has one People, without the help of his teammates, he will inevitably lag behind other drivers in time.

So how far do you think you'll be behind? the narrator asked.

One minute, I expect Zhang Guan to be one minute behind other drivers. Shinauer said.

It will be 1 minute behind at 23 kilometers! The narrator exclaimed.

This is the gap between the team and the individual, which is insurmountable in the Tour de France. Shinauer paused, and then said: But the team time trial has no sprint points and climbing points, so Zhang Guan can rely on Yesterday’s points still retain the green jersey and the red and white spotted jersey, but for Huang Shan, it definitely doesn’t belong to Zhang Guan anymore!”

What Shinauer said was categorical, and the commentator nodded in agreement.

...

The second stage starts from Lesar.

Fortunately, the team time trial is only 23 kilometers. Zhang Guan took a deep breath: I will try to complete the 23 kilometers in less than 25 minutes. With my current ability, I can barely do it if I go all out for 25 minutes!

He looked around, every driver looked eager to try.

It's not that easy to take the yellow jersey from me!

I will ask for a monthly pass at the end of the pass. If you persist until the end, you will win! Now pass the test and work hard to code words, we will see you in ten more!
