Huang Chong's desire to win the ITT, or rather, his confidence, wasn't very high.
If he were starting last, he could have pushed hard on the rolling climbs in the middle section, depending on his condition on the day.
But starting 30th, there was very little he could do.
All he could do was try to stay in one piece and finish the whole race.
He nodded and said,
"I'll just do my best, Coach Han."
In truth, his own focus was also on the road race.
Not only was the Rainbow Jersey for the road race more valuable, but he also knew the history of the road race from his past life.
Although his participation would surely change the course of the race compared to his past life, he at least had advance knowledge of the tactical intentions of Slovenia and Pogačar.
And the road race was all about winning through chaos. As a solo rider, as long as he could maintain peak condition, anything was possible.
The ITT, after all, was a solo mode.
