Most new riders on an Intercontinental Team sign one-year contracts for their first deal, and Huang Chong was no exception.
However, his decision not to sign a long-term contract wasn't because the team feared his performance would be unstable and risky, but because it was his own choice.
A short-term contract certainly offered more freedom.
Besides, he was confident in his abilities, had higher career ambitions, and had no intention of signing a long-term contract with an Intercontinental Team right out of the gate, only to get complacent.
Even if his skill level didn't reach World Tour Level by the end of the year, he was confident he could re-sign with an Intercontinental Team next year.
That wouldn't be a problem.
As long as his performance didn't significantly decline, he could basically dominate the domestic league at his current level.
Training time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was mid-March.
