There are two items on the road bikes of the London Olympics, namely the road race and the individual time trial. The road race is like most of the stages in the Tour de France. Everyone starts together, whoever reaches the end first is the champion. The individual time trial is also similar to the Tour de France individual time trial. One player starts every two minutes. The competitors do not interfere with each other. Everyone rides along the same route. Whoever takes the least time is the champion.
In this project, the most powerful team is still the British team. Newcomer Tour de France champion Wiggins and future Tour de France triumph Fromm will represent the British team, and the British team also has the advantage of home, their familiarity with the track is still their sharpest weapon.
In addition to the British duo, the Swiss player Cancellara, the champion of the last Olympic personal time trial, also said before the game that he would try his best to defend his title.
German Tony Martin, a time trial expert known as a road-confident car, and he has just won the championship of the Cycling Belgium Tournament. His strength cannot be underestimated.
There is also American player Taylor-Fini, known as the successor of "Seven Crowns" Armstrong, who is very good at personal time trial and has the strength to rush gold.
And Zhang Guan, since winning the road race championship, has also re-entered the vision of the bicycle spectator. Last year's Tour de France champion still looks like a sword, and it is not hopeless to win another gold.
Wiggins and Fromm in the United Kingdom; Cancellara in Switzerland, Martin in Germany, Finney in the United States, and Zhang Guan in China are considered to be six people who can compete for the gold medal, and the vast majority of media believe that in the end The medal will also fall on the six of them.
...
"Zhang Guan will also participate in the km personal time trial. This time, he must not be allowed to get the gold medal! Perhaps, I should use some means!" Sebastian's eyes flashed coldly, and then he picked up the phone. Dialed a number, and then reported his identity, the other party immediately respected.
"In the individual time trial for kilometers, how many of our players did they start?" Sebastian asked.
"Wiggins is the penultimate start, Fromm is the penultimate start." The other party continued: "The last start is the last champion Cancellara, and the penultimate start is the German Martin, the penultimate The fourth departure is Fini of the United States."
"What about Zhang Guan? What is Zhang Guan's departure?" Sebastian asked.
"Let me see... It's number seven, Zhang Guan is the seventh starter, behind him is Kazakhstan's Bazaev, and in front is Japanese player Beppu Shizhi."
"Seventh? Why are you so advanced?" Sebastian then asked.
"The starting sequence is based on the points of the individual time trial in the International Cycling Federation. The higher the ranking, the lower the starting position. Last year's Tour de France had a personal time trial stage, when Zhang Guan won the championship, So his points are higher than the wild card players." The other party explained immediately.
Japanese player Beppu Shizhi is already the one with the highest points among foreign card players. He has also participated in many intercontinental events in the past few years. However, how can an ordinary intercontinental event compare with Tour de France, Tour de France is the world's highest-level cycling event, so Zhang Guan can only win the history of Beppu in points by virtue of the winner of a time trial in the Tour de France Of it.
And more points than Zhang Guan, all players of the professional cycling team, such as the Kazakhstan player Bazaev in front of Zhang Guan, he is a player of the Kazakhstan Astana team. Astana is also a professional team of the Tour de France class. There are more opportunities to participate in top-level events. Although Bazayev has not won any championships, he has participated in more competitions and will win the championship in points. .
A total of 38 people participated in the road cycling personal time trial at the London Olympics. Some of the world's top professional cyclists did not participate. Zhang Guan started in the seventh and was already very ahead, but Sebastian was not satisfied with it.
"Take Zhang Guan to the first departure!" Sebastian said.
"Let Zhang Guan start first? This is against the rules of the game!" said the other end of the phone with some hesitation.
"We are the Olympic Games Organizing Committee, and we said that last hour!" Sebastian said very forcefully.
"What if Zhang Guan protests?"
"Don't care about him, I said that the organizing committee temporarily adjusted the order of appearance according to the situation on the spot. Needless to say more!" Sebastian sneered.
...
In the individual time trial, the players who start late will have the advantage; the players who start early will be the disadvantage. The first to leave was the "mine".
There are a total of 38 players, and one person starts in two minutes. All the players need 76 minutes after the start. The distance of the individual time trial of the London Olympics is not long, only a total of 34.6 kilometers. When the first player to finish the game, the last few The players must have not started yet.
If Zhang Guan is the first to participate, when he finishes the game and returns to the finish line, players such as Cancellara, Wiggins, Martin, Finney, etc. have not yet started, but they already know Zhang Guan's Scores, so that they only need to be one second faster than Zhang Guan to defeat Zhang Guan. Since Zhang Guan took the lead to finish the game, there was no chance of overtaking.
Sebastian also recognized this, he decided to stumbling Zhang Guan with his power. Putting Zhang Guan in the first start is tantamount to exposing Zhang Guan's results to other players. With Zhang Guan's results as a reference, several other players will also have the bottom of their hearts. Zhang Guan wants to win a gold medal. It will also seem slim.
...
Hampton Court Palace is one of the Royal Palaces of London and is located on the banks of the River Thames in the Richmond area of ​​southwest London. It is also the venue for the road bike individual time trial.
Since the UK is the biggest favourite to win this event, on the day of the game, many British spectators gathered at the scene to cheer for their players.
"Isn't it the seventh one? How was it transferred to the first one?" Zhang Guan asked the tournament officer in surprise.
"This is an adjustment made by the organizing committee according to the situation on the spot. If you don't approve, you can abstain!" said the tournament official coldly.
"Adjustment on the spot?" Zhang Guan sneered. He didn't see what was happening on the spot. He had to adjust himself to the first departure. The first departure, whether the track was cleaned or not, both said, this is obviously to let myself go to "mine"!
Generally speaking, this kind of "landmine" is handed over to the weakest wild card player, and now he is deliberately letting himself go.
"The guy from Sebastian must have tripped me up. The last time I interviewed after the game was to run against him. This is his revenge!" Zhang Guan thought of this and sneered.
"Okay, then I will be the first!" Zhang Guan readily agreed to come down.
"The first one is good. There is no one ahead. Ride faster. Don't worry if someone gets in the way!" Zhang Guan thought while looking at the surrounding British audience and the British flag they were waving.
"I'm here to grab your gold medal again!"
