The race continued—
Huang Chong's misjudged breakaway had pulled all the title contenders into the front group far too early, completely distorting the race.
It wasn't just the coaching staff of the major teams who wore grim expressions, wondering what on earth their riders were doing.
Even the managers of the three Intercontinental Teams, who had been watching from the sidelines for the past three days, were completely bewildered.
In such a long stage, for all the title contenders to break away this early... what was going on?
Who races like this?
This style of riding was unprofessional and far too aggressive.
Were these guys really so confident they could maintain a high-power output for the entire 140 kilometers, all the way to the finish line?
