"Although I'm confident I can beat this kid in a Sprinting Burst, a final sprint always feels like a 50/50 toss-up.
In any case, there are still two of us. I think for the rest of the race, we can just take turns launching anaerobic attacks to constantly wear him down.
The goal is to completely drain his energy before the finish line."
As the rookie and junior partner, Yevgeniy, despite his boundless potential, certainly wouldn't dare to object.
Besides, the senior rider was their team's primary hope for victory, so he immediately replied:
"Okay, Gelber. We'll do it your way.
So, we'll take turns launching solo breakaways and see how our opponent reacts.
It works out, since I'm not good at flat-ground sprints. If the Chinese cyclist drags it out to the end, I'm not confident I can win the race either.
Our mission is to bring home two Olympic spots. Losing even one would be a colossal failure!"
