NOVEL NEXT Chapter 67: Far Ahead
Listening to the commentator's voice, Sheila on the rostrum also sweated nervously.
The conversation of several cycling professionals beside her made her even more nervous.
"This new rider is really brave, but I think sports require such courage, otherwise how can humans break through their own limits step by step?"
"Yes, the clothing of cyclists is not like that of motorcyclists, and there is not much protection at all. If you can't control the body and fall off the bike, it is basically equivalent to saying goodbye to this game."
In the picture broadcast by the director, Li Ang's speed has never been less than 70 kilometers per hour, and even the instantaneous speed has approached 80 kilometers per hour.
Li Ang adjusted the gear ratio to the maximum, and his speed at this time was almost faster than that of ordinary cars.
It's not that the speed can't be further improved, but considering the performance of this car, it will be impossible to keep the body stable at a faster speed.
At this time, he has formed a team alone, leading the second team by a distance, even greater than the distance from the second team to the end of the team.
As for whether the so-called seeded players behind him would exert their strength, he didn't care at all. As long as they were surpassed by him, they would never be able to get ahead of him again.
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed in the race. The seeded players who had just been chatting leisurely were now silent.
In their subconscious, they had forgotten the yellow man who had just been pressing in front of them.
After entering the competitive state, the only competitors now were the people around them.
Even the commentator's speech was much more cautious. After all, people who rushed forward at the beginning were very common in various large-scale competitions with low thresholds, but he had never seen anyone who could rush forward until now.
Those who were looking forward to Li Ang's physical strength declining quickly and falling to the back of the team at the beginning now inevitably turned into hoping to see how long Li Ang could hold on.
Except for a few people who didn't understand bicycle racing at all, no one would believe that Li Ang could keep this lead until the end of the race.
Because if each player is regarded as an independent individual, then for the same distance, the player who chooses to fly alone will have a considerable amount of wind resistance compared to the players who advance in a team.
It's like everyone is running a marathon, and others are all lightly equipped. You run with two sandbags tied to your feet. Unless your hard power is much stronger than others, even if you run in front at the beginning, you will definitely fall behind slowly.
At this time, Li Ang has arrived at the first supply point of the event.
The supply point is generally set up more than 50 kilometers away from the starting point and 20 kilometers away from the finish line. This also means that Li Ang's average speed in the first half reached a terrifying 50 kilometers per hour.
Most people may not know what this result means, but you must know that in the top hall of cycling competitions, the Tour de France, the top players can barely reach an average speed of 50 kilometers per hour in a stage of more than 150 kilometers.
Of course, Li Ang's current strength may still be a certain distance from the world's top level.
After all, the total mileage he participated in is 3,500 kilometers, and his daily state will have a certain consumption, and he achieved an average speed of 50 in a stage of one or two hundred kilometers.
But his results are enough to look down on everyone present.

Until this moment, everyone who saw this data realized that Li Ang was not a fool at all, but was far ahead of the group of players in terms of hard power, and he did not need to travel with them at all.
When he arrived at the supply point, Li Ang first drank a paper cup of functional drink. In this weather, the temperature of the drink was just warm, and he drank it in one gulp without any burden.
He also showed off two bananas, two energy gels, and a cup of functional drink, and drank all these things.
This whole meal made several staff members present dumbfounded.
It's not that they haven't seen this way of eating, but that's usually in marathon events. Some people who don't pursue results eat at the supply point like a buffet, and they can understand it.
But now, Li Ang is the current first place, and they are very worried that consuming so much food at once will affect his athletic condition.
And most professional athletes will not stop and eat slowly before walking. Don't others take it quickly and eat while riding?
But when they saw Li Ang walking away, even faster, they felt that their worries seemed a bit unnecessary.
In fact, this amount of food was nothing to Li Ang's current appetite, and this was already the result of his control.
"I say, that Asian must have withdrawn from the competition, right?"
Someone in the seeded team said embarrassedly.
Everyone was silent. If it was said at the beginning, everyone had this guess, but now, no one dared to express their opinions easily.
As soon as they finished speaking, everyone saw the empty paper cups and banana peels on the ground at the supply point.
It was not until this time that they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
These staff members were a bit too unprofessional. It was okay for them to steal the supplies, but they also threw the garbage on the ground.
They didn't find any garbage in the distance before the supply point, which means that the yellow man who was ahead of them just now either didn't receive any supplies or had already retired.
There is almost no possibility of not receiving supplies, because the supply points for this race are quite rare, with only two in total. If you miss this one, you have to ride another 50 kilometers.
In this case, the next step is the competition between them.
Li Ang looked at his meter. At this time, the distance he rode just reached 100 kilometers, and there were still 50 kilometers left to the finish line.
And his current average speed is an amazing 48 kilometers per hour.
There are more uphills and curves in the middle stage, and his average speed has also dropped.
At this moment, even though there are extremely empty roads in front and behind him, he still can't see a single person. Only the event broadcasters and backup staff are still driving by his side.
Whether it is the last game or the usual practice, it is the first time for him to ride such a long distance in one breath.
However, the master-level [cycling] technique has brought him a lot of experience, so that he still retains more than 40% of his physical strength.
The empty road and the rapid speed gave him a sense of pleasure that he had never experienced before.
Three hours after the start of the race, Li Ang had entered the last ten kilometers of the race, and this section of the road had also entered the city.
