Back in the game, I'm still the big devil

Sure enough, the complaints of Dadi Racing Team and Arthur did not get any results.

The organizers of the event and the Cycling Athletic Association simply judged Roy's crash as an accident on the grounds that there was no "direct evidence", and it was not intentional.

But it got a lot of media attention.

The news organizations that specialize in reporting on the Tour de France simply collected all the video materials of the moment Roy crashed, enlarged the key details to the pixel level, and played them repeatedly.

Thousands of Roy's "new" fans were crying out for Roy - they were convinced that Roy crashed because he was blocked.

"If it's not trying to play tricks, why don't the people from the Renault team stay away from Roy? This is from the melon field."

"That's right, so many people from the Renault team surrounded Roy, but left their leader alone? This is not normal!"

"Look, even the other teams are complaining about Roy." - This is Arthur.

Some people think that Roy's fans are too "conspiracy theory".

"How normal is it to crash? It's not the first time for Roy to crash."

"Can you talk about it even if you are close? There is no camera to capture Roy being hit?"

"It's a pity that Roy crashed, but what if he complained? The organizers of the race will not add back his results."

"Even if it takes ten thousand steps back, Roy's crash is really related to the Renault team, so it has nothing to do with the yellow jersey, right? George was far away from Roy when he crashed."

"That's right, George has nothing to do with Roy's crash. George's yellow jersey is aboveboard."

"I lost my yellow shirt, but insisted on blaming others. This Roy, young man is too arrogant!"

There were different opinions for a while, and no one knew the truth of the incident.

But most people concluded that this fall lasted nearly 3 minutes, allowing George to maintain a 55-second advantage-Roy basically missed the yellow jersey this year.

The 19th stage, the last free competition flat stage of this competition; the total length is 166.5 kilometers.

The pre-match practice is that four players wearing jerseys will step forward.

Roy was wearing a polka-dot shirt with red dots on a white background. As he passed the waiting drivers, he stopped somewhere to say hello to a Renault driver.

"You were wrong yesterday!" Roy looked at Soren Vandert, his eyes narrowed into thin smiles and curved beautifully, "You forgot that I still have a polka-dot shirt."

Sauron had long forgotten about this, and he opened his mouth wide for a long time before he realized it.

This is Roy's belated counterattack, countering Sauron's accusation against Arthur——

Even if Roy lost the yellow jersey, he would still be the owner of the polka-dot jersey - Arthur should have been wearing the white jersey as a matter of course.

Yesterday Sauron said that Arthur was "interested" and so on, it was all nonsense.

No one expected that Roy would be so vengeful that even if he said something inappropriate, Roy would refute it on Arthur's behalf in public.

With a gloomy face, Sauron stared at Roy who stayed in front of him and refused to leave, and gritted his teeth: "Do you have any advice?"

But Roy continued to say with a smile, "I dare not take it as an advice, but please remember what I told you on the day of the transition."

"The day of the transition?" Sauron thought about it for a while, and his expression immediately changed.

On the day of the transition, Roy reminded Sauron not to believe in the promises made by the bosses in the team, and not to be willing to ruin his future for petty profits.

"By the way, there is an old saying in my motherland, which is 'Three things never happen'. You have provoked me once, twice...yes, twice. For the sake of your own future, it is better not to have a third time gone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Roy kicked his feet lightly, and the racing car under him had passed through the drivers waiting in line and arrived at the front of the team.

There, he smiled and shook hands with George, who was wearing a yellow shirt, and exchanged greetings.

From the camera lens, it can be seen that the relationship between Roy and George is normal, and the two are not at war at all, and they are fighting to the death.

Only George understood that Roy's eyes were very fierce. There seemed to be two clusters of small flames in his eyes, burning with his ambition and competitive desire, without any concealment.

George couldn't help shivering, as if the flames in Roy's eyes could really burn him.

After the green shirt, Arthur in the white shirt also drove forward slowly and stopped beside George.

George greeted him kindly, but Arthur ignored him completely.

Looking at Arthur's cold facial lines, George felt terrified again.

He began to feel that the two young men beside him, one on the left and one on the right, were all coming for him——

Fortunately, stage 19 is just a flat stage.

The Dadi team's strategy is very clear: they have to find a way to help Roy make up the 55-second gap, and the only way is to release Roy as a "rabbit" when the race is half or two-thirds of the way. .

The strategy of the Renault team is completely opposite: they must do their best and do everything possible to prevent Roy from becoming a "rabbit" and breaking through from the main group.

If the Renault team can't stop Roy's breakthrough, then the time for Roy's breakthrough must be delayed as much as possible, so that Roy does not have enough distance to perform.

Renault's "throttle" tactic was generally successful.

Roy did not break out of the encirclement until he was about 25 kilometers away from the finish line. At the same time, he was accompanied by more than a dozen "rabbits" who broke through with him.

There are sprinters from various teams in this "rabbit" group, most of them want to try on the last flat stage and aim for the stage champion.

Among this large group of sprinters was Roy's teammate, the Spaniard Juan.

Juan is not here to compete for the stage championship, his mission is to protect Roy.

In this small group mixed with the "rabbits" of various teams, there is also the figure of Renault team Soren van der Tet.Immediately behind Sauron was "White Shirt" Arthur with an indifferent face.

This "rabbit" group is approaching the finish line at high speed.

When there were still about 10 kilometers away from the finish line, the "rabbits" were notified, and the gap between them and the main group widened to 27 seconds.

In other words, if Roy can maintain this gap and cross the line smoothly, the distance between him and the yellow jersey may be reduced to less than half a minute.

In this way, the "rabbits" drove towards the finish line on the flat track.

5km…

4km…

3km…

Juan suddenly found that there were always several drivers between him and Roy.

He wanted to get close to Roy several times, but someone always blocked his position, making him unable to move and close to Roy.

Juan gasped, and only then remembered what McLaren's Mark Yates had revealed to him in private: Renault may have teamed up with drivers from other teams to deal with Roy.

"Roy—"

Juan wanted to say hello to Roy.

He even radioed the coaching staff, wanting Victor and the others to help remind Roy.

But Roy has entered his "personal time" -

Roy turned off his radio.

He automatically blocked all the noisy noises on the road: the cheers of the audience, the roar of the motor of the navigation vehicle, all kinds of sirens, singing, laughter, cursing...

He let his senses go, letting himself feel instinctively: the movement of the air, his own speed, the movement of others.

Roy's mental concentration is so high that in his world, the flow of time seems to be slowed down——

He was sensitively aware of the movement of the riders around him, and he felt that someone was approaching him from all directions.

He is like a flexible fish, coming and going freely between drivers of different teams.

He is looking for the most suitable position to cross the line.

Yes, he is such an insatiable person.

Now that he has been forced to come to this point, why not grab another stage championship?

2km…

1km…

800 meters...

Roy felt the position of the drivers around him move. He knew there was Sauron, whom he hated the most, and he also faintly felt that all the drivers were putting pressure on him.

He was always looking, looking for a gap that would allow him to pierce the surface of the water and jump into the sky like a swordfish swimming in the sea.

At this moment, Roy suddenly felt that an opponent was following a familiar rhythm, quickly catching up from the right side.

It was Arthur—the corners of Roy's mouth couldn't help but smile.

Arthur is the same as him, the more excited he is at such moments, the more he refuses to back down.

He obediently tilted the front of the car a little, to give Arthur a little room, and was ready to accelerate.

Accelerating in front of the two of them at the same time is Sauron of the Renault team.

Sauron got stuck in the most favorable position in the rabbit team early on.

If he hadn't known in advance that Sauron would be a "spoiler" today, Roy would think that Sauron would also have the hope of winning the stage championship.

More than a dozen drivers rushed through the last "100 meters" road sign at high speed, and the finish line was in sight, getting closer and closer.

The blood in Roy's body was boiling hot at this moment, his body left the car seat, and he was about to start shaking the car——

At this moment, Sauron's car slowed down abruptly.

At the moment when professional drivers sprint at high speed, this kind of blocking is almost fatal.

Roy's spirit was highly concentrated, so at this moment he instinctively swung the front of the car, barely brushing past Sauron's body...

I only heard a loud "bang" behind me.

Roy's heart twitched violently.

The one standing between him and the "spoiler" was none other than Arthur.

Due to Arthur's obstruction, Roy was a little away from Sauron, and almost passed by him.

Arthur, who was between the two, was not so lucky.After being blocked by Sauron, Arthur and his car directly crashed into the baffles on the side of the road where the advertisements of various sponsors were painted.

The exclamation of the audience came from Roy's ear, which was extremely clear——

Because of Arthur, Roy's "small world" was completely broken.

He completely forgot to cross the line, he turned his head to look in Arthur's direction.

His car was completely driven by inertia and crossed the finish line.

After crossing the finish line, Roy's car veered and braked suddenly to stop.

He didn't know who he had given his beloved car to. In a daze, he probably threw the car down and ran—turning back to the place where Arthur crashed on the track.

At the finish line he was stopped by race organizers and he was not allowed to enter the track.

Because the main group is entering the final sprint track.

Roy didn't argue a word, he couldn't afford the time.

He jumped over the billboard next to the track, passed through the crowd of spectators, and ran directly to Arthur.

Along the way, he heard many people calling his name, and he couldn't care less about it.

Just a few seconds ago, Roy was still sprinting hard to satisfy his desire to win;

Now he doesn't know who won the championship of this stage, and he doesn't care.

He kept avoiding the audience who stood in his way, and he kept opening his mouth to apologize or thank him.

But there was only one name in his mind: Arthur, Arthur, Arthur...

You fool, fool, fool!

The author has something to say: The prototype of Arthur's crash came from an "accident" in the 2020 Tour of Poland road cycling event. It was also a malicious blocking foul, which caused the competitor to hit the billboard and was seriously injured on the spot.

In the road cycling race, the speed of the players can reach more than 100 km/h when going downhill, and the speed of sprinting on the flat ground is also 50-60 km/h, which is not slower than the speed of a car.Therefore, the consequences of malicious blocking can be very, very serious.

The perpetrators in the Tour of Poland were directly sentenced to a lifetime ban.After rescue, the victim is no longer life-threatening, but his career will also be seriously affected.This kind of malicious foul that violates the principle of fairness is really bad.
