I will practice more in the United States

Chapter 67 Far ahead
Listening to the commentator's voice, Silla on the podium also sweated nervously.

The conversations of several bicycle professionals on the side made her even more flustered.

"This rookie driver is really courageous, but I think sports require such courage. Otherwise, how can humans possibly break through their own limits step by step?"

"Yes, cyclists' clothing is not as good as that of motorcyclists, and they don't have much protection at all. If you can't control your body and crash, it's basically like saying goodbye to this race."

In the scene broadcast by the director, Li Ang's speed never dropped below 70 kilometers per hour, and even reached the top speed for an instant, approaching 80 kilometers per hour.

Li Ang adjusted the gear ratio to the maximum. At this time, his speed was almost faster than an ordinary car.

It's not that the speed can't continue to increase, but considering the performance of this car, it's impossible to keep the body stable no matter how fast it goes.

At this time, he has formed an echelon on his own, and the distance ahead of the second echelon is even greater than the distance from the second echelon to the larger team at the end.

As for whether the so-called seed players behind him will exert their strength, he doesn't care at all. As long as they are surpassed by him, they will never have the possibility to get in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed since the start of the match, and none of the seeded players who had been chatting leisurely just now had said a word.

In their subconscious minds, they had forgotten the yellow man who had been pressing in front of them just now.

After entering the competitive state, the only competitors now are the people around them.

Even the comments of the commentator were 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 initially expected Li Ang to lose his physical strength quickly and fall to the back of the team now inevitably turned to hope to see how long Li Ang could persist.

Except for a few people who don't understand bicycle racing at all, no one would believe that Li Ang could maintain this lead until the end of the game.

Because if each player is treated as an independent individual, then for the same distance, players who choose to fly solo will have a considerable amount more wind resistance than players who move forward in formation.

It's like everyone is running a marathon, and everyone travels lightly. If you tie two sandbags to your feet and run, unless your physical strength is much stronger than others, even if you run in front at the beginning, you will definitely be slower behind you. Slowly falling behind.

At this time, Li Ang had arrived at the first supply point of the event.

Supply points are usually set up more than fifty kilometers away from the starting point and twenty kilometers away from the end point. This also means that Li Ang's average speed in the first half of the journey reached a terrifying 50 kilometers per hour.

Most people may not know the concept of this result, but you must know that in the top hall of cycling competition, the Tour de France, the average speed of the top players in a stage of more than 150 kilometers can barely reach 50 kilometers per hour.

Of course, Li Ang's current strength may still be far behind the world's top level.

After all, the total mileage he participated in was 3500 kilometers, and his daily performance would consume a certain amount of energy, and he achieved an average speed of 50 in a stage of one or two hundred kilometers.

But his achievements are enough to dwarf everyone present.

It was only then that everyone who saw this data realized that Li Ang was not a fool at all, but that his physical strength was far ahead of these players, and he did not need to go with them at all.

When he arrived at the supply point, Li Ang first drank a paper cup of energy drink. In this weather, the temperature of the drink was just warm, so it was not burdensome to drink it in one gulp.

I showed off two more bananas, two energy gels, and a glass of energy drink to go with it. This take-all made several staff members present look dumbfounded.

It's not that they have never seen this way of eating, but it is usually in marathon events. Some people who are not pursuing performance will treat it like eating at a buffet when they arrive at the supply point, and they can understand it.

But now, Li Ang is the current number one, and they are worried about whether consuming so much food at once will affect his exercise status.

Moreover, it is impossible for ordinary professional athletes to stop specifically, finish eating slowly and then leave. Aren’t others just finishing their food quickly and eating while riding?

But in the blink of an eye, when they saw Li Ang walking away and even speeding up a bit, they felt that their worries seemed a bit unnecessary.

In fact, this amount of food is nothing to Li Ang's current appetite. This is already the result of his control.

"I said, that Asian guy must have withdrawn from the competition, right?"

Someone in the team of seeded players said sarcastically.

Everyone was silent. At the beginning, everyone would have guessed this way, but now, no one dares to express their opinion easily.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw the empty paper cups and banana peels on the ground at the supply point.

Only then did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

These staff members are so unprofessional. They just steal the supplies themselves and throw the garbage on the ground.

They didn't find any garbage for a distance in front of the supply point, which meant that the yellow man who had just led them either didn't receive any supplies or had already retired.

There is almost no possibility of not receiving supplies, because the supply points in this race are quite sparse, there are only two in total. If you miss this one, you will have to ride another fifty kilometers.

In this case, then the next step is the competition between them.

Li Ang looked at his stopwatch. At this time, the distance he had ridden had just reached 100 kilometers, and there were still 50 kilometers left before the finish line.

And his current average speed is an astonishing 48 kilometers per hour.

There were more uphill climbs and corners in the middle section, and his average speed also dropped.

At this moment, even though there were extremely empty roads in front and behind him, there was still no one in sight. Only the event broadcasters and backup staff were following him in their cars.

Whether it was the last game or daily practice, this was the first time he had ridden such a long distance in one go.

However, the master-level [riding] technology has given him a lot of experience, so much 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 into the race, Li Ang had already entered the last ten kilometers of the race, and this part of the road had already entered the city.
