Chapter 680 Life and Death Sniper (Subscription Request)
With the advantage of downhill, Huang Kaiwen won the individual time trial championship of this stage without any surprise.
What’s interesting is that there was a car crash later, and Sagan and Yellow Ball King’s teammate Joaquin Rodriguez were affected, but both of them performed well and did not fall behind.
Before entering the Pyrenees, Kevin Huang's lead was shortened a bit.
Some players are clearly exerting their strength.
目前排在第二的是绿刃的格兰斯，他们在团体计时赛中夺冠拿到的优势比较大，格兰斯以18小时19分15秒的成绩排在黄凯文18小时18分55秒后。
The players behind were all similar, with not much difference between them.
Green Blade took 234.
Nibali and Rodriguez encountered some troubles and sniping, as did others. Katusha, except Huang Kevin, all fell out of the top ten.
QuickStep suddenly gained 45th place, Sky took the three places behind them, and Saxo Bank took 9th to 11th places.
Cavendish was the second person to finish this stage behind the Yellow Ball King, but even so his result was not even in the top 20.
In the sprint points, the yellow ball king leads with 274 points, while Sagan, who claimed to have given up, is in second place with 184 points. Kittel and Greipel are around 100 points.
Huang Kevin was really convinced when he saw this result.
Sagan still has a lot of brains.
Not only is he capable, but he's also smart.
So many points were snatched away quietly.
However, in terms of climbing points, AG2R's Rabbit Kadri ran behind Huang Kevin.
After the game, return to the camp.
In order for the players to have a good rest, the RVs are not parked too close to each other. The middle point between the vehicles is the campsite and the open-air kitchen.
The chef is preparing dinner.
Ekimov called everyone over, asked the mechanic to go out for some fresh air, and drove the cook away.
"Sky is obviously going to make an effort. They want to get good results in the mountains. Before, we were competing for the team and several honors, but tomorrow's mountain section must be dominated by Kevin. You may not have noticed that Froome's climbing points are not high, but they have increased very rapidly in the past few days."
"Tomorrow's game against Sky and Movistar will be a tough one," Ekimov said.
"Why is there a moving star?"
Moreno asked.
Ekimov smiled and shook his head and said: "Today Kevin beat Quintana and Quintana lost his white shirt. Mobile Stars will definitely give us trouble. Even if it's just for the sake of results, they will find a way to compete with us."
"Then kill them!"
Moreno said indifferently.
He has the least psychological burden among the important drivers, and now his personal results are hopeless.
If the team hadn't made tactical arrangements, he would have attacked anyone he disliked.
At this time, Moreno treated himself as a consumable.
Ekimov said: "Tomorrow we will try to go as a group with more people. As I said before, we need to ensure Kevin's performance while also ensuring the overall performance. Now you guys are about the same, so let's see how you perform."
"I'll still be Kevin's deputy commander, and let Joaquin and the others strive for results. Joaquin happens to be good at mountain roads."
Nibali said.
"Forget it. I have good mountain power skills and am suitable to be Kevin's deputy mountain general. You should go."
Joaquin Rodriguez said.
Ekimov didn't expect that the two strongest lieutenants of the team wanted to sacrifice their own results.
"How about this, Vincenzo and Daniel will be Kevin's lieutenants, one on the flat roads and the other on the mountains, and the others will protect Kevin while trying to support Joaquin."
Ekimov made the decision.
Because Joaquin Rodriguez is older, we should try our best to ensure his personal performance, so that if he gets injured or there are changes in the team, it won’t be too regrettable.
After finishing the tactical meeting, Huang Kevin returned to the RV.
The biggest trouble in the past few days of racing is the ups and downs of the hilly sections, which makes the riding experience terrible.
Fortunately, the mountain road will be much smoother tomorrow.
After a brief exchange with Lily, Huang Kevin began to watch the news.
The Tour de France has been very popular recently.
Even if you don’t watch the Tour de France, you can still enjoy watching the wonderful attack highlights.
Some people are just born athletes.
It can also suddenly accelerate when climbing a slope. Even though Huang Kaiwen is extremely talented, he still pays attention.
The previous competition can only be regarded as a warm-up, and some experts are ready to exert their strength on the upcoming mountain road.
At this time, Huang Kevin received a video invitation from Ramos, and he immediately clicked to answer it.
Huang Kevin saw the faces of Ramos and Francesco Gattuso close to the camera. The two men stepped back a little, and Huang Kevin saw the waterfall.
Based on the height, Huang Kevin guessed where it was.
The border between Switzerland and Germany, the Gotthard in the Alps, and the Rhine Falls.
This waterfall has a drop of only 23 meters, which is a bit small compared to those truly spectacular waterfalls, but it is already considered impressive in Europe.
"Hi, Uncle Kevin!"
Francisco waved excitedly and shouted: "I saw some reports about the Tour de France, you are awesome!"
The little guy gave a thumbs up and said.
"Of course, I want to win all the championships!"
Huang Kevin also gave a thumbs up and said.
At this time Ramos said: "Sorry Kevin, I didn't go to watch your game. Francisco and I will go to Paris."
"It's okay. You can't see me because I'm riding my bike all the time."
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
"I watched some game videos. Those guys are really insidious. They even blocked your position. Don't let me see them."
Ramos shook his fist and said.
Kevin Huang smiled and asked, "How is Francisco?"
"He's fine. The kid is talented."
Ramos said.
Francesco Gattuso performed a fitness move in front of the camera, showing the King of Football his biceps.
Francisco does seem to have grown up a lot since the last time we met.
Children grow up fast and their temperaments are different.
A lot calmer than before.
It can be seen that Ramos has been training this kid a lot during this period.
Francis deliberately pushed the grill into the camera to show off to Huang Qiuwang that he was making barbecue.
Kevin Huang smiled.
Children are children, and their character and character need to grow with experience.
This is a good thing. Children who become sensible too early have experienced many hardships.
After chatting with Ramos for a few more words, Huang Kevin hung up the video.
Kevin Huang immediately received another call from Galliani.
Sometimes Kevin Huang really wondered if the earth would explode without him.
"Adriano, what's wrong?"
Huang Kevin asked.
"Inter Milan snatched Jovetic from Manchester City for 4000 million, and they are also chasing Hamsik and our target Strootman." Galliani said on the phone.
"We want Stroman?"
Huang Kevin asked.
"Arsene wants it."
Galliani said: "But Arsene doesn't want to compete with Inter. He hopes you can call the player and PSV Eindhoven and persuade the player and the club to give up some interests in this deal."
"let me try."
Huang Kevin said with a headache.
This situation is the most troublesome.
It is easy to talk to the players, but it is difficult for the club to agree to give up their interests.
No matter how big of a figure Huang Qiuwang has, a discount of one or two million will be enough.
If Inter Milan is really determined to raise the player, there is really no good way. If the other party offers 3000 million, can AC Milan, the yellow king of football, take the player away for 1500 million?
"And Roma is also chasing players, Kevin."
Galliani added.
"Oh shit!"
Huang Kevin couldn't help but swore.
Milan is really miserable, being besieged by two wealthy families.
Now unless the players strongly request a transfer, it will be difficult to achieve.
Huang Kevin hung up the phone and immediately called the PSV Eindhoven executives.
Their reply was similar to what Huang Kevin had thought, and they promised Milan that they could reduce a portion of the bids from other clubs to take Stroman away.
But this is just a joke.
You waive 500 million, what if Roma asks for 9500 million and Milan takes him away for million?
Through Van Bommel, Kevin Huang got Stroman's phone number.
With just three sentences, Kevin Huang successfully persuaded Stroman to transfer to Milan.
Next, it will be up to the three clubs to quibble.
Stroman was unsure before because he didn't know whether Milan really wanted him. Milan's lineup was too luxurious.
Now that it has been confirmed, of course I have no interest in other teams.
Playing for Milan means he is guaranteed to win several championships a year. At his age, he can at least play well in Milan for the period of his contract. In five seasons, he can win more than 5 championships. What else does he want?
After hanging up the phone and looking at the terrain for tomorrow, Huang Kevin went to bed.
The next morning, the whole team began to make preparations.
The mountain stage is the real test, and everyone started to get nervous.
The gap was small in the previous stages, but the mountains usually widen the gap.
After dinner, we started to reconfirm tactics and responsibilities.
Kevin Huang is the main player.
Nibali is the deputy commander on the flat road.
Daniel Moreno is the mountain vice-captain.
Joaquin Rodriguez is the mountain captain.
Kuczynski, Caruso, Christopher and Trofimov are all lieutenants.
Alberto Losada was in charge of logistics.
boom--
After setting out from Custer, the Katyusha convoy continued to move forward with the main force.
At this time, the rabbits set out earlier. Hogland from Wickensore and Marino from Soarsen rushed out directly and formed a small team.
Seeing this, AG2R's Riblon and Morad followed.
The lead of several people was instantly widened.
The speed of the main group was below 40 kilometers per hour, but they all reached 55 kilometers per hour, and soon their lead expanded to more than two minutes.
"Looks like you're the starting gun now, Kevin."
Sagan, who was riding on the left, said: “If you don’t go up, they won’t go up either.”
“There’s really no point in competing for the fourth-level climb at San Furrio at 27km. It’s so close to the starting point, so it would be a bit of a loss to just go for it.”
Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.
"really."
Sagan nodded.
It is not uncommon for people to burst out in a fight for points, then join the main force, and then burst out again at the points, just like Huang Kaiwen did before.
But usually they are the main players in climbing or sprinting, and there is no main player in total time.
After all, this way of consumption requires a lot of physical energy and will waste a lot of physical energy.
It is more suitable for those athletes who only compete for points and not time. If they have consumed too much physical energy, they can ride slowly as long as they cross the line before the cut-off time.
The closing time of the Tour de France is calculated based on the first person to cross the line, plus 20% on this basis. Those who exceed this time will not have a result.
If too many people fail to return by closing time, the organizing committee will handle it at its discretion.
After all, the main thing is to ensure the excitement of the game.
"Most of the players now have no intention of catching rabbits. No one in the main group even wants to break through."
"Yes, because the focus of today's race is on the second half, the sprint point at 120 kilometers, the HC climbing point at 166 kilometers, and the Category 194 climbing point at 1 kilometers. The smaller the number of climbing points in the Tour de France, the more difficult it is. The HC is the most difficult and also the one that scores the most points. Even if you want to compete for the polka dot jersey, you don't have to exert your strength at the beginning of the race."
"Yes, if a level 4 point is released, it is released. Huang Kaiwen scored so many points mainly because he didn't release one. But today we also saw that Huang Kaiwen also released it, which shows that his previous game consumption was still not small."
“Many times Kevin Huang couldn’t even play half the game. Although I have some confidence in his endurance, for a long-distance ride like the Tour de France, I still need to think more about strategy.”
At 45 kilometers, Pinot of the Rambo team suddenly retired.
Probably because of physical discomfort.
“The long flat road is the final rest, and after the sprint point, you have to start exerting your strength.”
Nibali said.
Huang Kevin nodded.
He is in good shape today.
When the distance reached 90 kilometers, the main group began to speed up, and it became difficult for the rabbits to run away.
They consume more physical energy than the main force.
A few people were gradually overwhelmed by the large force and they didn't even have the chance to resist.
Lotto's Seaberg, Grumpel, Henderson and Wilms rushed out together.
As soon as you catch a rabbit, there will be a new rabbit.
They obviously wanted to help Grempel take this sprint point.
Van den Broek, who stayed behind, immediately rode to the front of the main group to control the pace, trying to suppress everyone's speed.
Tony Martin and Cavendish suddenly jumped out and attacked Lotto's four men.
At this time, the two-person breakout group could only rely on Tony Martin to break the wind.
"Let's go, Kevin!"
Nibali said.
Huang Kevin nodded.
At this time, drivers who were interested in competing for sprint points began to accelerate.
The Katusha team was preparing to set off, but Rui Costa of West-East Star and Jose Rojas directly blocked the road behind them. Except for Nibali and Kevin Huang behind him, Katusha's other lieutenants could not keep up.
"This bastard!"
Nibali looked back and cursed: "Revenge comes quickly."
"Don't worry, I will get rid of Valverde if I have the chance."
Huang Kevin said with a sneer.
Quintana asked for it by being beaten up. Huang Kevin deliberately left behind Huang Qiuwang's deputy general at this time. He must find a chance to get back at him.
There is a chance to directly defeat their main general.
The convoy in front suddenly slowed down. Marangoni smiled and waved his hand and said, "Come on, we'll take you for a walk. Thank you Kevin for the gift."
Sagan behind Sabatini waved, and Kevin Huang smiled and nodded.
It’s also nice to be able to mix it up with Cannondale for a while.
At around 110 kilometers, Huang Kaiwen sped up and took the lead.
Several people at Cannondale were a little surprised.
Nibali said: "It's okay, Kevin does this all the time."
Sagan immediately nodded in sudden realization and said, "I knew Kevin's stamina was better than I thought, but I didn't expect it to be this far."
The camera motorcycle was about to turn the lens over, and Huang Kevin waved at him, indicating that he should take pictures of the scenery.
The cameraman immediately turned the camera away.
As long as you don’t take a photo of the Yellow Ball King leading the ride, then the Yellow Ball King is not leading the ride.
Trying to make opponents unclear about the physical condition of the Yellow Ball King is the key to finding opportunities to overtake other drivers.
At 115 kilometers, Sabatini took the initiative to lead the ride.
"Ready to take off."
Sagan said, tilting his head.
Huang Kevin nodded.
Two kilometers later, Marangoni led Sagan, and Nibali led Huang Kevin, and they all attacked the sprint point.
Now there are four groups in total.
The lottery has the most people, and Grempel, Henderson and Wilms are ready to help Seaberg get the sprint point.
The good duo of Tony Martin and Cavendish are also preparing.
Sagan and Marangoni, Kevin Huang and Nibali just caught up.
At this time, a large group of people from the Sky Team suddenly rushed over, there were five of them.
"Damn it, who let them in?"
Sagan cursed.
It is generally difficult to bring so many lieutenants together to compete for points. Even if other teams do not deliberately cut off the formation, some lieutenants are stuck in their main positions and cannot leave the main force.
Nibali gestured.
Marangoni immediately brought Sagan over and side by side.
Kevin Huang waved to Tony Martin and Cavendish.
Two people also followed, and the six people spontaneously formed a 123 diagonal formation to fight against the Lotto and Sky teams, which had more lieutenants.
The three lieutenants were in the first two rows, with Kevin Huang riding on the right, Cavendish on the left and Sagan in the middle.
Sagan has been complaining about this position. Although it saves the most energy, it is also difficult to get out of this position.
The camera almost kept shooting at the faces of several sprinters.
No one expected that the emergence of Team Sky would lead to the union of Katusha, Cannondale and Quick-Step, and the leading group would temporarily become a three-way confrontation.
Sagan gave Huang Kevin a look, asking Huang Kevin to launch an attack directly.
Kevin Huang nodded and called out, “Vincenzo, Frohme.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Kevin rushed out from the diagonal formation, and Sagan followed behind Huang Kevin. Seeing this, Marangoni pedaled faster, preparing to lead the ride in front of the two men.
Tony Martin and Cavendish were left alone again.
Nibali, who was left in place, found the right opportunity, rushed towards Team Sky and pressed directly in front of Kennov, breaking the Team Sky formation.
Now there are only four people left in the Lotto team, and only Geraint Thomas is left in front of Froome.
With only a few hundred meters left to the sprint point, Huang Kaiwen rushed out from Marangoni, stood up and shook the bike frantically.
Grumpel, Cavendish and Seeberg also began to attack.
The competition immediately became fierce.
"Huang Kaiwen is leading now, but the lead is not much. Seeberg's burst is very fast. Sagan's movements are a bit slow this time. Does he have some physical problems?"
"Cavendish successfully overtook Seeberg and was about to chase the leading Kevin Huang. The two were only half a wheel apart. Let's see this sprint. Kevin Huang is still in the lead, followed by Cavendish, then Grempel and Seeberg, and finally Sagan. This is the sprint five... No, Froome has caught up. His attack is very fast and he almost caught up to the second place in an instant."
“Huang Kevin! Huang Kevin successfully crossed the finish line first. Team Sky’s large force was obviously trying to save time at this sprint point, but they still failed to snatch it from Huang Kevin. However, Sagan’s burst of time at the last minute still surprised us a little.”
"Yes, the young player Kittel, who performed well before, has not been very active these past two days."
"Hehe, Kittel and Huang Kaiwen competed in explosiveness. Huang Kaiwen said that he was not physically fit, but he still won the mid-sprint point today. Kittel, on the other hand, was motionless."
【Indefinitely Lost】
"I am dying of laughter. Kevin Huang must have done this on purpose."
"I think so too. He looks half dead every day, but he gets all the points he deserves."
"Don't even think about it. This guy is the best at acting. He must be pretending to attract others to attack him."
"Is this true? Kevin Huang fell off his bike when he crossed the line before."
"Then why didn't he crash before crossing the line? He crashed right after crossing the line. That was a deliberate act."
"I think so too. Every time he was almost there, he gave others hope, which probably consumed other drivers. Kevin Huang is such a mean guy."
"You can't say that. This time I stand on this side. Anyone who wants to get in front of a big star deserves to be beaten. If you want to show off in front of Huang Kevin, at least you have to have the strength to not be beaten by Huang Kevin."
"I estimate that there will be many more drivers who retire this year than in previous years. Kevin Huang can eliminate several drivers every day."
"Fuck, Mobile Star is here to take revenge today. Quintana suffered a terrible fate yesterday."
After the sprint point, you will reach the mountain climbing section.
The previous speed suddenly dropped to below 40 kilometers, and the main force was able to catch up quickly.
"Kevin, I have a problem with my car."
Nibali suddenly said: "Try to protect yourself, Daniel will be there soon."
Huang Kevin looked and saw that several deputy commanders of the convoys had come over.
Fortunately, there was no chance to line up alone when climbing the mountain, so Kevin Huang chose to follow behind Team Sky leader Froome.
"Now we are at the HC grade slope of Miganes, which is also the only HC grade slope in the competition so far. HC is the abbreviation of a French phrase, which means beyond the grade, more difficult than grade 1."
"Yes, this section of the slope is 44 kilometers long, with an average slope of 3.8%. Although the slope is not very high, it is very long. For athletes who are not good at climbing, this section of the road is almost the biggest obstacle and will seriously affect their results."
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, many experts in climbing caught up with them, including Roland of European Automobile and an old acquaintance of the Yellow Ball King, Chief Quintana and his lieutenant, who immediately caught up with the main group of the Sky Team.
Pete Kennoff, who was leading Froome in front, suddenly accelerated.
Kevin Huang, who was riding behind Froome, followed the rhythm of the two of them, but the riders behind Kevin Huang were in a miserable situation.
Kennov was obviously preparing to blow them up.
As a deputy general, he doesn't care about physical strength at all. He just needs to burst out and go back before the closing time.
Now there are only two choices before them, either to keep up with the pace of Team Sky like Kevin Huang, or to continue riding at this pace, but who will lead the ride is still a question.
They are all experts at climbing, and no one wants to make wedding dresses for others.
The deputy general couldn't keep up because the consumption was too great.
Ruben Plaza had a burst of momentum and Quintana caught up.
The leading group in front was led by Kennoff, followed by Froome and Kevin Huang, with Quintana and Roland also joining in.
Out goes Sky's deputy general Kennov.
What follows should be a fight between the four people.
Kevin Huang has been adjusting his condition.
The one he was most careful about was Frome.
Even though Froome's performance in the previous few days' competitions was not outstanding, as the favorite to win the championship, he must be very strong.
I guess Flom is just waiting for a few more hills to gain points.
As for Quintana, Kevin Huang didn't take him seriously at all.
Maybe he has good ability, but he was blown up yesterday, and he is not in the best condition both physically and mentally.
Suddenly, Kennov accelerated again.
This deputy general squeezed his physical strength like crazy, just to help the main general Frome defeat some opponents in advance.
Huang Kevin was following the car behind him, and at this time Froome suddenly exerted force.
"here we go!!!"
"Froome accelerated, Huang Kevin followed, and Kennoff's speed obviously slowed down. This is a sign of excessive physical consumption. Who will be the first to cross the line on the next HC slope?"
The winding mountain road was narrow to begin with, and spectators on both sides of the road often leaned over to applaud, so Kevin Huang could only follow behind Fromme.
While a spectator almost touched Huang Kevin, Frome suddenly launched another attack, directly widening the distance between the two people.
About 20 meters, Huang Kaiwen estimated, which is about two seconds.
Now they were not far from the climbing point, so Huang Kaiwen quickly quickened his pace, visibly shortening the distance between the two people.
This chase made many viewers forget to breathe.
Too nervous.
Not only the speed and explosiveness of the drivers, but also the road conditions are one of the factors that restrict the two people's attack.
Kevin Huang has been waiting for an opportunity.
Now the opportunity comes.
The audience stood farther away, so the road was a little wider.
Huang Kevin saw the opportunity and accelerated immediately.
exceeded!
boom--
"Saint Kevin!"
"Saint Kevin!"
"Saint Kevin!"
The moment Huang Kevin passed Froome, the crowd erupted in thunderous cheers.
But at this time there was another accident. Frome, who was following Huang Kevin, suddenly stood up and shook the bike frantically, taking advantage of this opportunity to successfully get to the front.
"It's the last bend, and after the bend is the climbing point. There's not much distance left, Huang Kaiwen chose the outside lane to overtake and successfully passed!"
"Huang Kaiwen, Huang Kaiwen successfully won this HC-level climbing point. Huang Kaiwen won the most difficult climbing point with the most points so far in the race. As I said before, Huang Kaiwen will not let you down no matter what the race is, even on a specific green field!"
