Back in the game, I'm still the big devil

Renault's George Spark was the last player to start the time trial.

Finally, he also finished riding on the flat stage and came to the place where the drivers changed their bikes.

But this time, the mechanics of the Renault team and George were obviously out of shape, and the original seamless cooperation disappeared at this moment.

It took six or seven seconds between George getting out of the old car and stepping into the new one.George, who was on the road again, blushed, showing a bit of frustration——

The mechanics and logistics team of the Renault team were all stunned behind the leader, staring wide-eyed.

Nobody knew what was going on.

But anyone can feel that something is wrong.

If one place is wrong, everywhere is wrong.

When this scene was reported by the broadcast commentator Jacques, it was a little more euphemistic:

"We saw that the yellow jersey drivers took some time to change the car, and hope that these efforts will bring rewards to George..."

"But those time losses further narrowed the gap between Roy and George."

"With both riders entering the mountain course, the time gap between Roy and George was further compressed to..."

The narrator was startled when he saw the "real-time" data, and said in surprise:

"What? Only 19 seconds left."

The overall result gap between the yellow jersey and No.2, shortened from 31 seconds to 19 seconds, seems to have only undergone a car change.

Roy, who had climbed the uphill track for 2 minutes, began to further oppress George with his super short slope ability.

And George had just started to climb the slope, and the seconds had already been lost from Roy's hands.

For a while, no one paid attention to other drivers' races.

All attention is on Roy and George.

The last half of the decisive stage: the score difference between the first and second players in the total score is so close, and the competition is so fierce and stalemate.

In fact, after the 19th stage, many spectators and fans have turned to support Roy - Roy crashed and received a second penalty - without those twists and turns, Roy should be wearing the yellow jersey today , wearing a golden helmet, rode the last race with ease.

Being hit again and again, and losing Arthur who fought side by side, Roy still did not disappoint today.

The "real-time" gap between him and George is narrowing bit by bit-not rushing, but unstoppable.

Jacques, the commentator holding the microphone, looked at the constantly beating numbers on the screen, shook his head, but didn't even dare to blink.

"Of course, we also need to understand that this 'real-time' time difference is just an estimate and cannot represent the final score..."

"...However, at this stage, we are very sure that Roy will soon overtake—"

"what--"

A burst of crazy shouts interrupted Jacques' explanation.

All the drivers of the Dadi team rushed into the tent at this time and squeezed in front of the camera.

Mikel hugged his teammates, and everyone was yelling.

On the screen, Roy's "real-time" score has surpassed George.

He has already donned the "virtual" yellow jersey.

Jacques said excitedly: "Director, at this moment, can we switch to Roy's team and Roy's fans... Let's see their reaction."

The director was kind, and in the next second, the screen switched to the command room of the Continental Racing Team - a camera was installed here in advance - the Renault Racing Team also installed the same equipment, but now the Renault Racing Team definitely does not want their reaction at this moment to be seen by the public .

The director cut to the moment when Roy's overall score had just overtaken:

The screen was shaking, obviously the coaching team of Dadi Racing Team was too excited, and the cameraman couldn't even hold the camera.

Assistant coach Pierre is a man of temperament, he jumped up and roared;

The chief team leader in suits and leather shoes raised his fists and laughed;

Around him is the huddled PR team of the sponsors.

The calmest person is the head coach Victor.

The gray-haired old man didn't cry like he did after the 17th stage, but continued to stare closely at Roy's riding status in the monitor.He clenched his fists, as if he wanted to help Roy ride.

"Roy, hold on, focus!"

Victor seemed to be screaming all over his body.

The camera cuts back to the driver in an instant.

Roy was so calm that he didn't look like a human being at all.

He didn't seem to know that he had surpassed him at all.

Now Roy took off his goggles and unzipped the neckline.The audience can clearly see that he is breathing heavily and sweating profusely.

But Roy's expression looked pure, pure like a child.

He seems to have forgotten how rough and tortuous his journey was in this Tour de France, he forgot the grievances and grievances with the Renault team, and the agreement with his teammates... He even forgot Arthur, because Arthur, who retired from the race—

He is just playing a game that needs to be completed with air, wind, earth, resistance, friction...

He pursues extreme speed, and he also pursues absolute victory.He lives for the sport and finds the meaning of life in the process of chasing victory.

At this time, the drivers of the Dadi team finally calmed down and stopped shouting.

In order to appease them, Jacques handed the microphone to Mikel and asked, "Do you think Roy knows at this time that he has actually put on the yellow jersey?"

Mikel and several teammates looked at each other and said with a sly smile: "Radio!"

Radio communication is not always reliable - especially for Roy.

Roy must have turned off his headphones by now to make sure no one interrupted his game.

Jacques had interviewed Roy's teammates, and the director narrowly cut to the Renault team.

The Renault drivers, who have mostly finished the race, are gathering together at the moment, shoulders hunched over, anxiously awaiting the finish of their lead.

At this moment, they are all staring at the screen and the scoreboard dumbfounded——

Is this... really, a mere 30-kilometer time trial?

Why can Roy not only recover the previous 57 seconds, but also keep expanding the gap: 10 seconds...20 seconds...30 seconds...

Is there a big problem with George's performance, or is Roy too brave, unstoppable and unimaginable...

Finally, Roy approached the finish line.

His face was very pale, which was a sign of excessive physical exertion.

His chest heaved violently, and his polka-dot shirt was soaked with sweat.

Obviously, Roy did his best for this battle.

He looked up before the finish line and looked at the results displayed on the timing board.

The score is negative, negative 1 minute and 32 seconds.

He's a minute and a half faster than the No. 1 player so far.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief-Roy won, achieved his goal, and completed an almost impossible reversal.

The moment he crossed the line, the audience at the finish line gave him thunderous applause.

And Roy, as he was used to, let go of the faucet and greeted everyone with open arms.

At this moment, he is the dazzling star on this stage and the ultimate winner.

After crossing the finish line, countless media, cameras and reporters swarmed towards Roy - the champion and final winner of this Tour de France.

Everyone seems to have forgotten that the man in the yellow shirt has not yet reached the finish line.

Renault's main driver, George Spark, finally approached the finish line.

He was no longer as calm and calm as he used to be when he crossed the line every time, and he didn't have four lieutenants around him to help him drive the "big train".

The golden helmet on his head was not put on properly, it was crooked, and the goggles had gone somewhere, so that all the audience could clearly see that his eyes were red, and he was panting desperately with his mouth slightly open.

He seems to need to exhaust all his courage to face the result of this game.

Just like that, George crossed the finish line without hesitation.

His final result is represented by a positive number: "+59 seconds".

According to the tradition of the Tour de France, no driver will challenge the yellow jersey in the 21st stage.Therefore, this result is George's final record in this Tour de France-he is 1 seconds longer than No.59.

The Tour de France race spanned more than 3000 kilometers, from the Côte d'Azur to Provence, and then to the Alps—George came in second with a mere 59 seconds.

But just think about it, at this time yesterday, George was still 57 seconds ahead of Roy.

In the 36-kilometer time trial, George lost to Roy by nearly 2 minutes.

But he has no excuses: after all, this is a time trial, and there is no factor on the track that will affect the driver's performance.

If Roy is not counted, before Roy, the best result of this time trial was created by Mikel.

George was only 32 seconds behind Mikel in this race.

Looking at the whole game, this result can already be regarded as a leader in the front row - if there is no Roy.

Therefore, George's loss was purely due to Roy's strength and belief.

After George crossed the finish line, he lost his strength and stepped off the car with the help of his teammates. He couldn't even move half a step, and sat down on the side of the road.

People looked at him with sympathy.

George put on the yellow jersey very early in this competition, and he is the driver who has kept the yellow jersey for the longest time in this Tour de France.

But he received a strong challenge from Roy in the last few stages, and at the last moment, lost the yellow jersey - in this, almost humiliating way.

George sits on the ground, surrounded by his teammates, trying to keep media reporters from poking cameras and microphones into losers' faces.

George just sat there motionless, covering his face.

The Renault drivers looked at George in amazement, watching him twitch his shoulders and sob softly.

After all, none of them knew that Roy's parting words to George before the final contest began——

"Don't cry when you get to the finish line."
