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

A "truce" is an act of temporarily "suspending" the race spontaneously initiated by each team under special conditions.

Usually the "truce" is initiated by a powerful team. If other small and medium-sized teams express "acceptance", then the "truce" is established, and everyone starts to ride slowly at the agreed slow speed until it leads to a "truce" factor disappears.

The most common "truce" scenario is severe weather.

Renault has a good reason.

The thunderstorms in the mountains were abundant, forming streams on the surface of the road.

With such a slippery road surface, coupled with the "death downhill" road track, if the race continues as usual, one can imagine what kind of "people turn their backs" on the road.

Forcibly competing under such weather conditions will not only endanger the prospects of the drivers, but will also endanger their careers and even their lives.

Of course, there is another option, that is, Roy and George take the risk of going head-to-head, and the others "truce".

But obviously George wouldn't want to.

Seeing the signal given by George, Roy returned a gesture without hesitation.

—he accepted.

—he had to accept it.

George, who was wearing a yellow shirt, wiped the rain off his face with his hand, and nodded to Roy with satisfaction.

The assistant coach Pierre lamented in the earphones: "It's a pity!"

Roy also sighed secretly.

——Downhill is Roy's strong point.

Judging from the previous downhill performance, Roy's downhill skills are definitely better than George's.

If the game continues as usual, he is confident of winning this stage and recovering some time from the yellow jersey.

But he didn't want to put his teammates, his friends, all the drivers at risk.

It is indeed a pity, and it can even be said that the Renault team took advantage of it, preventing Roy from chasing one step further in the overall score list.

But this cannot be blamed on the Renault team or the yellow jerseys. It can only be blamed on the thunderstorm in the summer afternoon, which came at an untimely time.

Under the "truce", both George and Roy limited their speed and slowly slid down the section of the track known as "death downhill".

After they controlled the speed, they gave the drivers behind them a chance to slowly catch up.

The rain has stopped, and the air is filled with the unique fragrance of green grass in mountain pastures.Looking into the distance from the winding winding mountain road, the scenery is indeed first-class.

Roy: I'm just forced to enjoy the scenery.

In the earphones, his coaches were sighing, regretting that Roy missed such an excellent opportunity.

Roy put on the brakes a little, slid the car slowly on the track, and glanced back at George inadvertently, wanting to see the yellow jersey's reaction.

George actually blushed a little when he saw it.

Indeed, just now Roy ushered in a unique opportunity since the start of the game to directly "single out" the yellow jersey.

Yellowjacket George called a "truce".

He not only shouted "truce", but also suppressed the speed at the front of all the drivers, so that his team and other drivers had the opportunity to catch up with Roy.

That's a bit of a bully: Bully Roy is alone.

When the other drivers of the Renault team caught up with George and the others, the scene changed from "one-on-one" to "group fight".

This was simply a deliberate siege, and a heavy rain that fell at the right time actually became the "accomplice" of the Renault team.

Roy smiled at George.

George nodded at him too.

Don't look at Roy smiling like a flower, in fact, he is extremely upset.

He gripped the handlebars with both hands, not because he was afraid of falling, but because he had nowhere to use his strength, and he panicked.

At this moment Roy couldn't help but miss Arthur.

It was a blessing for him to have such a worthy opponent like Arthur in his previous life.

The competition between the two of them is completely a competition of strength, never mixed with others.

Just like the "death downhill" under the feet, if Roy said "go", Arthur would follow without hesitation, and then the two raced desperately.

Neither of them will let go of this good opportunity of "one-on-one".

But George beside him had a graceful smile on his face, and he was planning all kinds of calculations in his heart, using all means to stop his opponent.

Roy immediately remarked the nickname "Scary" in his mind.

"Roy, the teams have already discussed with the competition party. In 3 minutes, the 'truce' will come to an end."

The radio hissed.

At the same time, the staff members on motorcycles also accelerated forward, holding up a small blackboard with the words "3 minutes" written on it in front of George and Roy.

Roy cheered up.

Victor reminded in the earphones: "Boy, the race will restart later, and you have about 5 kilometers to reach the finish line. The track near the finish line is very complicated, 'washing machine effect', do you remember? Don't take it lightly ..."

"Washing machine effect" is a proper term, referring to the finish track of a special terrain:

This kind of track is wide at the entrance and then narrows;

In addition to becoming narrower and narrower, there will be several turns in a row.

If a large number of drivers swarm onto the track at the same time, many drivers will be "squeezed" and have to slow down and be held back due to the narrowing of the track;

Coupled with the frequent corners, the drivers have to control the speed of the car and maintain their positions when turning.

This forms a huge "turbo".

Quite a few drivers will be "washed" out of this huge "turbo", left behind, and forced to stay away from the championship.

That's why it's called the "washing machine effect".

When laying out the tactics for breakfast, Victor explained the characteristics and precautions of this kind of track.

But the head coach didn't particularly emphasize it.

After all, the entire coaching staff thought that Roy would finish alone or with the yellow jersey in the end.

No one expected that so many people would cross the finish line together after the 1C mountain stage.

In this way, the skills when crossing the line are particularly important.

The entire coaching staff is particularly worried that a young player like Roy has no experience.It was thrown out as soon as it was washed in the "washing machine".

3 minutes, 5 kilometers, just a snap of the fingers.

In a blink of an eye, all the drivers of each team entered the sprint state.

The end of the 13th stage is worthy of the famous "washing machine" stage.

Drivers are constantly being "washed out" from the forefront of the sprint formation;

The experienced Renault team set up their formation early, and their lieutenants protected the leader George, forming a sharp knife shape, turning one corner after another, and galloping towards the finish line.

Roy has been falling behind this "sharp knife".

After most of the opponents were washed out by the "washing machine", the Renault team's formation began to disperse.

It seems that the Renault team is the biggest beneficiary of today's "truce". They not only prevented the young player Roy from challenging the yellow jersey, but also won the stage championship with their rich experience and collective advantages.

At this moment, a dark color suddenly appeared in front of George in the yellow shirt.

A figure suddenly jumped out from an impossible place, like a sharp arrow whistling past, surpassing George in Yellow Shirt.

He seemed to be competing for the stage championship with another sprinter from the Renault team, but in the next second, he also left that sprinter mercilessly behind.

This "attack" launched about 50 meters before the finish line was too sudden.

All the players in the Renault team were caught off guard, including the "yellow jersey" George himself.

The opponent in the dark jersey maintained an absolute high speed when he plugged in, so that his competitors had no time to react and speed up.

George was taken aback. After being baptized by the "washing machine", he could still launch a fatal blow from the "blind spots" of everyone in their team-what a sophisticated opponent this is!

This opponent seems to have absolute certainty that he will win the championship of this stage.

At the finish line, without even looking, he stood up, opened his arms, and began to greet the cheers of the audience.

Behind him is a large and clear number plate: "Number 143".

This is Roy!Roy crossed the finish line in the way he was most used to, struggling to embrace victory, and the resentment in his heart was swept away.

He was right, facing this sudden sprint, even the best sprinter was caught off guard.

When he crossed the line, there was nothing around him, and no one could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Did you see, your uncle is still your uncle——

That was Roy's only thought as he crossed the finish line.

He put his hands to his lips and blew a kiss to the crowd gathered at the finish line.

What responded to him was thunderous applause and colorful sounds.

It was too good for him to win!

After experiencing a frustrating "truce", Roy snatched the stage championship backhand from Renault's "bag" in an unimaginable way.

After crossing the line, Roy slowly slowed down and stopped.

He turned his head and saw George in the yellow shirt just in time.

George didn't go up to shake hands with him, but watched Roy silently from a distance, as if thinking:

——This can't stop you?

Roy raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: he knew early on that George couldn't afford to lose.

He suddenly raised his hand to greet a driver who had just crossed the finish line.

The driver quickly came over and gave Roy a light high five.

"Win?" It was Arthur who was wearing a white jersey.

Roy nodded, he was very grateful for this guy's wonderful "massage" technique in his heart, and he should express his gratitude to Arthur anyway after winning.

Sure enough, Arthur sighed, and said fascinatedly: "It's a pity, today's 'Death Descent', I really want to compete with you in that section!"

Roy almost stepped forward to hug Arthur.

Sure enough, this guy understood him.

"I'll wear this dress for you first, and I hope you can change it to a brighter color in a few days."

Hearing what Arthur said, Roy realized that his total score has now surpassed Arthur——

He has regained his white shirt.
