Chapter 806 Where Did Zhang Guan Go?

There are a total of 22 teams participating in the Tour de France, and each team can send 9 people to play, so there are a total of 198 players participating. In each stage, the sum of the top three players in the team will be counted as For the team results, the last 6 competitors of the team will not be included in the team results, only the driver's personal results will be calculated.

This year's Yellow Hair Cycling Race is from July 2 to July 24, a total of 23 days, two of which are rest days, so there are 21 stages in total. The 21 stages include 10 flat stages, 6 mountain stages, 3 hilly stages, 1 individual time trial stage and 1 team time trial stage. However, in the actual competition, there are often only 20 stages of competition, and the competition on the last day is the driver's honor ride.

On July 2, the first stage of the Tour de France officially started.

In previous years, the first day of the Tour de France was a time trial stage, but this year the time trial stage was canceled and changed to a flat stage.

The first stage is 191.5 kilometers from the Guwa Causeway to the Alouette Mountain. The only climbing point in the stage is at the end, and the sprint point is set at the 87th kilometer. Under normal circumstances, it takes players more than 4 hours and 40 minutes to complete today's game.

Of course, the guests don’t need to ride for more than four hours. They can get on the bike to rest after the first ride, and occasionally ride a short section after passing a section with many fans. That's it. Guests don’t need to ride at the same speed as riders. It would be great to stop halfway to take a few photos with fans and interact with them.

However, Zhang Guan didn't intend to put on a show, he really wanted to ride the entire distance.

The race started at 12:20 noon local time. Counting the ten guests, more than two hundred runners started together. The scenery was quite spectacular, and the photographers focused their cameras on the ten guests. After all, in the first stage of the competition, it is meaningless to take pictures of the players. On the contrary, it is easier to attract people's attention by taking pictures of some guests.

At the beginning of the competition, there are often a few people rushing to the front quickly. These are often rookies, and their main purpose is to attract the camera and explain to the sponsors. The same is true of today's competition, the two rookies who participated in the Tour de France for the first time rushed to the front in the first time.

Zhang Guan continued to ride among the crowd.

...

"Tom, look here! Look here!" A female fan shouted at Tom Cruise holding a camera.

Cruise simply stopped, and then began to take pictures with female fans.

"Justin, I love you!" Justin Timberlake followed the voice and found that several fans were holding their posters, so he immediately smiled and waved to the fans.

"Orlando, dump Miranda and stay with me, I will give you monkeys!"

"Why is this voice so rough!" Orlando Bloom followed the voice and saw a strong man with bare chest and chest hair waving at him.

"How can you, a man, have a monkey with me!" The elf prince stepped on his pedals in fright, wishing to leave as soon as possible.

"Tony Parker is over there!" A child rushed over with a basketball in his arms.

"Zidane, I'm looking for Zidane's autograph!" Another child got into the crowd with a football in his arms.

After two or three kilometers, several guests left the main team and began to interact with fans. Even the old car king Anduran did not join the main team, but took a pen to sign for the fans.

The reporters obviously liked this kind of scene very much. Almost every guest was followed by three or four reporters, taking pictures non-stop. The fans even screamed one after another, and the scene was even a little chaotic.

This scene satisfies the Tour de France chairman Prudhomme who is sitting in the car. The most important thing for these celebrity guests to come is to create momentum for the Tour de France. From today's situation, the purpose of creating momentum has been achieved .

"It seems that the decision to find a celebrity guest is correct, and we have to do it next year!" Prudhom was thinking while observing the popularity of the guests.

"As expected of Zidane, he has retired for several years, and his popularity is still higher than that of Tony Parker. Why don't you try it next year and invite Ronaldo?"

"Young handsome guys are popular. It seems that female fans like Bloom more. If it was placed ten years ago, Tom Cruise would definitely fascinate this group of female fans!"

"After all, Andurin is a legend of the Tour de France. After so many years, there are still so many fans. It's a pity that Armstrong doesn't have time. He can only invite him next year."

Prudhomme sat in the car and walked for a few kilometers. After seeing every guest, he felt more and more proud.

"Mr. Chairman, shall we go back?" the driver asked.

"Go back... wait, it seems that there is one person missing." Prudhomme thought about it for a while, but he didn't see Zhang Guan just now.

"Where's Zhang Guan? I didn't see Zhang Guan just now! He should be in the front." Prudhomme thought of this, and said: "Don't go back now, and then drive forward to see the situation on Zhang Guan's side. "

...

The race has reached 20 kilometers, and the riders riding at the front of the show sponsor have been swallowed by the large force.

Zhang Guan was still in the main army, and the people around him didn't care about him. In a team of nearly 200 people, everyone is wearing a helmet and glasses, and there is no special symbol such as a red cedar green shirt in the first stage of the race. No matter whether it is a driver, a reporter or an audience, it is impossible to see it at a glance. A certain player was noticed in the team of 200 people.

...

"How many kilometers is it now?" Prudhomme asked the driver while looking at his watch.

"Mr. Chairman, it's already more than 20 kilometers!" The driver replied.

"20 kilometers? It's so far away. Why haven't we seen Zhang Guan yet? Where did Zhang Guan go? He must have lost it!" Thinking of this, Prudhom's head broke out in cold sweat. If the invited guests were lost, the Tour de France would be a big joke.

"No, definitely not, there are cars following along the way, and there are many spectators around, so such a big living person will definitely not be lost." Thinking of this, Prudhomme said: " Drive for a while, drive faster!"

...

Several guests had already boarded the car and began to chat with each other.

The reporters also boarded the bus, and several videographers were already holding their cameras and began to inspect the results of their work just now.

"Your picture of Zidane is good, and the side angle capture is very good!"

"You Bloom is also very good, especially this look, I think it can fascinate a lot of female readers!"

"Anduran has aged a lot in recent years. Look, his temples are already gray. I remember two years ago, when I went to interview him, his hair was still black."

France is such a big place, and there are only a few sports reporters going back and forth. Everyone is in the same business, and they are all acquaintances with each other. Sitting in the car at this time, they also began to communicate with each other.

"By the way, who of you took a photo of Zhang Guan? Show me." A reporter suddenly asked.

"Zhang Guan, I was chasing Zidane just now, but I didn't see him."

"I didn't see Zhang Guan either!"

"I remember I took pictures of four people, let me see... I don't have a picture of Zhang Guan here either."

"I have it here, but it was taken before departure."

After a few minutes, the reporters finally confirmed one thing. No one took pictures of Zhang Guan interacting with fans.

"Before I set off, I clearly saw Zhang Guan, why is there no one now?"

"Where is Zhang Guan? Where is Zhang Guan?"
