"58 kilometers per hour... 62 kilometers per hour... 67 kilometers per hour, his speed is still accelerating!"
"Crossing the finish line! A new historic record is born in the second stage of the race!"
Even though this was only the second stage of the race, the commentator's tone was even more passionate than in the final showdown.
No wonder, for anyone who witnessed a newcomer from a continental pro team break the historical record of a stage amidst the pursuit and blockade of World Tour cyclists would feel an incredible sense of disbelief.
Gaviria had actually realized something was amiss halfway through the race when he still hadn't seen Li Ang at all.
It wasn't until this moment, when he saw that the spectators on both sides of the road were no longer focusing on them, the competing cyclists, but rather on their own phones, cheering along with them, that he truly believed Li Ang had already reached the finish line.
