Chapter 329 - 206 Tour de France (3) Is He Really a Genius?_3
"On the first day, in the first stage, leading by more than two hundred meters to clinch the championship, this is quite unusual, especially as Li Ang had stopped several times along the way. Could he really be a genius?"
This was a true reflection of what most spectators felt in their hearts.
And the honors Li Ang received were not solely limited to becoming the champion of the first stage. While donning the yellow jersey that marked the overall leader, he also won the green jersey, symbolizing the sprint king, and the white jersey for the best rider under 25—three prestigious jerseys at once!
However, due to the rules of the race, he could only wear the yellow jersey, the color of the automobile magazine and the sun, hence also known as the "Sun Jersey."
The green and white jerseys would be subsequently worn by the second-placed riders.
"Li Ang is absolutely the dark horse of this edition of the Tour de France. On the first day, he was adorned with three jerseys; even if he coasts for the rest of the event, his achievements are maxed out!"
"Indeed, unless someone becomes the final overall champion, I think it would be hard for anyone else to surpass him in terms of publicity."
In the minds of most regular Tour de France viewers, Li Ang had likely placed all his bets on this one stage and evidently reaped huge success.
The subsequent stages will most likely see a drop in performance due to the physical exertion from the first day.
This analysis made a lot of sense as energy distribution isn’t just about one stage but the entire Tour de France, which lasts over twenty days with many mountain stages and adverse weather conditions; naturally, one cannot simply sleep it off and fully recover all energy.
