Chapter 65: Start the Sprint



Li Ang's overtaking method is not very rational in the early stage of the race.

The general practice of the players is to follow the big group for a while, and then start to accelerate after the crowd slowly disperses, which will save more energy.

Li Ang's method is to force it, constantly accelerating to overtake in a narrow gap. This method requires frequent deceleration and change of direction, wasting a lot of kinetic energy.

It's not that Li Ang doesn't know these details, but he doesn't care about them at all. He just wants to be able to play his best without being affected by others.

The big group of players behind him didn't care much when they saw that he was overtaken by Li Ang. Instead, they had already concluded in their hearts that this was a novice. If he didn't know how to allocate physical strength in a full 180-kilometer race, it would be a problem whether he could finish the race.

Li Ang listened to the cheers and shouts of the crowd on both sides of the track, and his emotions were infected and unusually high. He quickly increased his speed to 50 kilometers per hour.

Although most people on the scene can reach this flat road speed, it is only when sprinting.

His sudden rise quickly attracted the attention of the director. The race, sponsor, and high speed of the start were all features that attracted attention, so he even received the same attention as the seeded players at the front.

Three minutes into the game, Holt suddenly noticed that a strange figure appeared beside him at some point.

He glanced at him with his peripheral vision and found that he had no impression of this player at all.

While he was still thinking about who this person was, Li Ang had surpassed him and even his windbreaker and came to the first place in the team.

Holt: Huh?

The other seeded players didn't take it seriously and only regarded Li Ang as a windbreaker invited by others.

Although this competition was an individual competition, in theory, it was the seeded players who took turns to break the wind in front.

But for these big clubs, there are plenty of places. Even after the number of participants in their own clubs is full, they can pay members of other small clubs to work for them.

The windbreaker who was originally in the first place was a little surprised. According to what they had agreed before the game, it was not time to rotate the windbreaker yet.

However, he was not unwilling to have more people in front of him to make him feel more relaxed.

But soon, he found that something was wrong.

Why was the Asian player in front of him getting farther and farther away from him?

He had no choice but to speed up, while complaining in his heart that the windbreaker was too unprofessional.

This pace was not suitable at all. Not only would it increase the physical consumption of the people behind him, but he himself would not be able to hold on for long and would have to switch to the back.

This series of operations confused the dozen seeded players behind him.

What's going on, brother? They really have to decide the winner, but not now.

But there was no way, they could only grit their teeth and keep up. This pace was considered relatively high for them.

"We can see that the player who is currently in the first place of the team is from Hillsboro. Let me take a look at his historical achievements. Well, he once won the Hillsboro Youth Team Championship."

The two pieces of information that were checked in succession caused this professional host to pause in his broadcast.

But he quickly adjusted with his rich experience.

"Looks like a very young new player. Although this is only his second game, it doesn't prevent him from showing us a brilliant performance."

"Miss Sheila, how is your father doing recently?"

On the podium, a middle-aged white man sitting next to Sheila, dressed quite elegantly, greeted her softly.

But Sheila, who was wearing a fiery red dress, was still absorbed in watching the live broadcast on the display screen and didn't hear him speak at all.

Before she came, she had looked up the information and knew that fiery red was an auspicious color in China, symbolizing victory, so she chose this set of matching.

"Miss Sheila?"

The middle-aged man raised his voice and called again.

"Oh, Chairman Orlando, I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you said just now."

Sheila turned around and greeted him, and then continued to look at the display screen in front of her.

"I mean, how is Mr. Reinhart these days? I talked to him once at the election meeting last time, and I realized a lot of truths."

"Maybe. Not bad? Who knows."

After Xila finished talking to him quickly, she turned her head back.

"Miss Xila seems to be quite interested in bicycle racing? I don't seem to have heard of it before. Did it start recently?"

"Yes."

This time, Xila didn't look back.

Orlando seemed to have noticed that Xila had no desire to chat with him at all, but there was no way. He didn't dare to show any impatience. He could only drink a sip of water in a sullen manner and continue to greet the person on his right.

In fact, Xila was quite worried about Li Ang's condition at this time. She was very afraid that Li Ang would disrupt his rhythm because of her words, and finally affect the final results.

After all, this is an intercontinental level competition, and there are even some players from other continents coming to participate. Whether it is the scale or the intensity of competition, it is far from comparable to the last city competition.

"How about relaxing the conditions for him? There will be rewards for the top 100? No, no, there will be rewards for finishing the race, which is more secure."

Sira silently calculated in her mind.

Leon has maintained this speed for ten minutes, and from the perspective behind, he has no signs of weakening at all, whether in terms of pedaling frequency or breathing.

"Damn it, I can't do this anymore, I have to slow down."

The windbreaker who has been following him has already felt the severe consumption of physical strength. If he continues like this, he will not be able to continue the next few rounds of windbreaking.

As he slowed down, the speed of the seeded players behind him also slowed down one by one.

"Holt, is this guy from your club?"

Harry asked with a frown.

"Of course not, in fact, I have never seen him."

"Well, no matter who he is, let's just pretend that he has never appeared and don't let him affect our rhythm."

An experienced retired professional player behind him said.

Because they were affected by Li Ang just now, they had to slow down to a lower speed than originally planned to make up for the physical exhaustion just now.

However, their speed slowed down, while Li Ang's speed was like turning on the cruise control, and he quickly pulled away from them.

"It seems that he is a newcomer who knows nothing. The first long uphill section of the race is coming up. I bet he will fall to the back of the team before he passes this slope."
