This sport wasn't just about cyclists riding from start to finish at their maximum capacity.
It demanded that riders formulate various strategies and tactics, and even have moments of on-the-spot brilliance across different terrains, to have any chance of victory.
For Huang Chong to be number one in the general classification and to have already locked up the King of the Mountains for the entire race was a true testament to his combination of strength and intelligence. His performance had been absolutely flawless!
When Coach Han and Chen Junyi saw Huang Chong be the first to cross Nie Jialiang, their faces were alight with excitement.
This was especially true for the coach. When he saw all the National Team members get dropped with 6 kilometers left to the summit, he thought it was all over.
But to his surprise, Huang Chong had relied on his own adaptability to snatch the Polka Dot Jersey ahead of schedule.
