"Huang, how are you feeling?"
"If you still have something left in the tank, I want you to attack later."
"Lipowitz is right behind you. He's eighth in the general classification, and we want to see if we can get two riders into the top ten."
Huang Chong was feeling great at that moment.
The difficulty of today's stage wasn't too much for him. Although the earlier climbs had taken a toll, he knew he still had enough energy to attack all the way to the end.
So when he heard Aldag's message, Huang Chong, who was at the very front, immediately turned to look at Lipowitz behind him and said frankly:
"My condition is fine. I can slow down a bit and let Lipowitz catch up. Then I'll do a lead-out for him and pull him as close to the finish as possible before I attack."
Aldag was undoubtedly thrilled to hear this response.
It's rare for a team leader to be willing to work for his deputy.
