The team director and the entire coaching staff were undoubtedly taken aback when they heard Huang Chong's bold and aggressive strategy, and they all exchanged looks of surprise.
But they didn't dare to doubt his ability.
He had simply put on too many highlight-reel performances on the climbs of one-day races.
Looking back at his season, from his very first win to the present, nearly every victory had been secured on a climb.
So, without another word, the team director got on the radio and relayed Huang Chong's idea to Zwiehoff and Buchman.
Of the two German riders, Buchman was undoubtedly the stronger climber. After all, he wore the Germany national champion's jersey, and with more races under his belt, his form was getting better and better.
He and Zwiehoff exchanged a few quick words, after which Zwiehoff decisively moved to the front of the peloton and began to increase the pace up Kekes Peak.
