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

At the end of the 19th stage, Soren van der Te maliciously blocked a foul, which caused extremely serious consequences.

Because of his obstruction, Arthur hit the billboard baffle on the side of the road, fell into a coma on the spot, and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

This time, everything happened in broad daylight and in plain sight.The perpetrators have nowhere to hide.

The "old account" of the previous stage was also immediately revealed:

Everyone remembered Roy's "crash" the day before, the allegations made by the Dadi team, and Arthur's testimony...

"Such a serious behavior must not be tolerated."

The organizing committee of the competition immediately expressed its position: Sauron's trouble-making behavior will be handed over to the FIA ​​for a decision on punishment, and the punishment will start with a three-year ban.

The competition organizing committee also stated that if it is verified that Sauron did foul Roy in the 18th stage, considering that he committed crimes continuously, the punishment he faces is likely to be a lifetime ban.

This is in line with Roy's prophecy: Sauron's pawn, who was regarded as an abandoned child without knowing it, eventually ruined his career.

But the damage Sauron wrought was devastating.

Arthur was rushed to the hospital, and his life and death are uncertain.

And the retirement of the young white jersey holder is already a certainty.

Roy personally sent Arthur to the ambulance, but was stopped when he was about to follow.

He hasn't been able to get the yellow jersey back from George, but he's still the owner of the polka dot jersey.

He still needs to go to the award ceremony and interview after the game, he can't go yet;

Besides, Arthur has his own Baolai team to take care of - Roy and Arthur belong to different teams, and they are their own opponents in the field.

Gan!This bloody award ceremony.

Arthur was seriously injured, and Roy still had the mood to go through that cutscene?

In desperation, Roy muddled around at the mercy of others to attend the damn "award ceremony";

Everyone present saw that he was sleepwalking the whole time, playing the role of his "fake smile prince".

Finally it's all over.Roy was allowed to leave this nightmarish post-match scene.

Suddenly a hand was placed on Roy's shoulder, and George's voice sounded in his ear:

"Roy, my sympathy and concern for your friend Arthur."

Roy slowly raised his eyes and looked at each other blankly, as if he didn't recognize George at all.

George said slowly: "But I still hope that this accident will not affect your game state tomorrow."

Roy's eyes were a little clear, and he asked dumbly, "Are you...George?"

George: ...?

Roy seemed to have finally woken up, looking at George's hand on his shoulder with extreme disgust.

George, as if he had done something wrong, quickly withdrew his hand under Roy's gaze.

"I'm here to remind you that there is still a gap of 57 seconds between us. Tomorrow is the one-on-one competition between the two of us. I hope that both of us can do our best to let the audience see a wonderful contest." .”

"57 seconds..."

Roy was instantly confused.

Before the start of the stage, the gap between him and George was 55 seconds.

And he clearly crossed the line before the main group arrived, so how could the gap be getting bigger and bigger?

"Don't you know?"

George raised his eyebrows, his face full of regret.

"Of course I really don't want to see that happen."

"Roy, today you were in a hurry and entered the track before the race was over... you were fined 20 seconds."

Before the earlier race was over, Roy made a detour from the sidelines to check on Arthur - to help Arthur he would have to be on the track.So he was penalized for these 20 seconds.

After the "penalty seconds" was added to Roy's total score, the gap between Roy and George was not narrowed, but increased by 2 seconds.

Roy blinked, and his mind suddenly started spinning again.

George came here, not at all to express condolences or apologize to Arthur because of the matter.

This man is here to show off.

From this point of view, George is really cool.

His teammates may face a lifetime ban for what happened today.

Arthur, who participated in the Tour de France at the same time as him, is in the first aid and does not know what is going on.

George, however, was in the mood to "show off" in front of Roy, showing off his extra 20 seconds of "advantage" out of thin air.

Roy can't complain about the punishment given to him by the competition - he did violate the rules, and he was punished with conviction.

But he couldn't accept George's attitude.

That's the way Roy is: the hotter the fire in his heart, the prettier the smile on his face.

So, George saw Roy's handsome face put on that signature smile again, and those beautifully shaped eyes shone like jewels.

In George's eyes, Roy seemed to be a different person suddenly.

He smiled happily at George, raised the corners of his lips, and said softly:

"--as you wish!"

Seeing Roy's face, George shivered.

Ordinarily, George's goal has been achieved: he was the first to inform Roy of the fact that Roy was "penalized for a second", and he stepped on it and showed off his advantages.

But, that doesn't feel right——

It's like...he woke up some monster.

"Why, Mr. Yellow Shirt, do you still have the face to meet us Roy?"

A majestic voice suddenly sounded.

Roy's teammates showed up.

Alex, nicknamed "Dali", came to Roy at this moment and folded his arms.

The thin jersey of the Dadi team outlines Alex's upper arms, which are full of muscles and full of strength.

Behind Alex, Juan and Mikel all surrounded them.

Everyone had contempt on their faces, and everyone greeted George with a cold snort: "Mr. Yellow Shirt!"

This title has completely become a derogatory term.

Honors won by means that are not worthy of respect are also not worthy of respect.

But what shocked George the most was Roy's eyes.

"As you wish—tomorrow, there will be a one-on-one, absolutely fair and just contest between us!"

When George fled, Roy was actually grateful——

He was grateful that this ignorant and reckless guy managed to arouse the boundless anger in his heart.

Renault had driven Roy to the brink at the expense of a driver's career.

But who is Roy? He is the "big devil" who has won the Tour de France yellow jerseys consecutively.

To be honest, in his previous life, he was soft with trophies and tired of wearing yellow shirts.

The big devil returned to Xinshou Village, and his attitude was inevitably not serious.

But in this world, there are few people who can arouse the anger in him so strongly as George.

In other words, in order to make his career shine again, Roy desperately needs a pressure, a dilemma, an enemy to step him into the dust.

— Now it gets harder the lower it is stepped on, and the higher it bounces off.

"Arthur..."

Roy kept clenching his fist and silently recited the name of this "old opponent".

Arthur crashed the car for him.

Roy knew this very well.

The situation at that time, like a video watched by Victor, played back repeatedly in Roy's mind.

When entering the final sprint of the 200-meter track, Sauron kept pressing tightly in front of Roy;

Then Arthur suddenly got out of the traffic and made a small space beside Roy.

Sauron was completely unaware of this change—he didn't have eyes behind his back.

Therefore, it should have been Roy who crashed the car, after all, Sauron had been targeting Roy from beginning to end.

But in the end, it was Arthur who was forced to retire.

In the first show of the Grand Tour, the promising young driver had to say goodbye to the race and the audience who supported him in the penultimate stage.

As soon as he thought of this, Roy's fist became tighter and tighter:

"Arthur, for tomorrow's race, I will not only win back my share, but also your share. I will also ask Renault for your share."

That night, the Dadi team rented a meeting room in the hotel where they stayed, for the head coach Victor and the whole team to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle on the next day - the mountain time trial.

In the history of grand tours, time trials are mostly on flat ground.In the 20th stage of this year's Tour de France, the event organizers ingeniously arranged a mountain time trial-the difficulty suddenly doubled.

But the problem with the time trial is still that: the stage is too short for the players to perform.

There is a 57-second gap between Roy and the "yellow jersey"—the industry generally believes that George has secured the yellow jersey in this Tour de France, while Roy...it's a pity.

Head coach Victor faced all the drivers and mechanics in the team, slammed his fist on the table in the meeting room, and said loudly: "Who allowed you to show such a dejected bear?"

In the meeting room, everyone was shocked and raised their heads to look at the berserk head coach.

"Isn't it just 57 seconds?"

"Let me tell you, if it's a time trial on flat land, I, Victor, will admit defeat if it's so far away. But tomorrow is mountain land—mountain time trial, time, race!"

"Even if you don't trust me, the old man, you should trust Roy."

Suddenly, all eyes were on Roy's face.

Roy was not ready yet, he looked preoccupied.

Suddenly seeing all eyes turned towards him, Roy could only grin awkwardly:

"Head coach, what did you just say?"

"Roy, concentrate!"

Victor was so angry that he knocked on the table again.

But this young man has already experienced so many things in the less than 20 days of the game-Victor sighed secretly in his heart, not wanting to force him anymore.

"Tomorrow's game will be a section of flat ground and a section of mountainous terrain."

"Switching from flat to mountain requires a change of vehicle - this requires the coordination of the driver and the team mechanics to minimize the time loss of the change."

Victor pointed to the stage terrain projected on the screen, and explained to everyone the team's strategy and skills for tomorrow's race.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the door of the conference room opened, and the head of the Continental Racing Team showed his head and waved his mobile phone to Roy.

"People from the Baolai team want to have a word with you."

Roy hurried out with the chief executive.

The people in the conference room looked at each other in blank dismay.

Victor wanted to speak but couldn't continue, thinking that if Roy wasn't thinking about it, no matter how he explained the tactics, it would be useless.

Unexpectedly, 3 minutes later, Roy entered the room.

Victor was shocked when he saw Roy's expression:

There is a show!Tomorrow's mountain time trial is really exciting!
