After the referee finished the five-second countdown, Huang Chong shot straight down from the starting ramp, then rose from his saddle and started rocking his bike, using his anaerobic power to accelerate.
The moment he launched, Dewey, Young Master Zhou, and the others, who had been waiting in the best viewing spots on either side of the starting arch, saw him shoot out like a rocket and immediately began to yell:
"Go for it, Huang Chong! Go, go, go! We'll be waiting for you at the finish line!!"
A short while later, once Huang Chong had disappeared from view, they quickly relocated, running over to the finish line to await the riders' return.
Of course, they had all paid a premium for their tickets, which not only gave them excellent viewing spots but also a clear view of the live broadcast on the sports center's jumbotron.
Unfortunately, in a road cycling ITT, broadcast directors don't keep the camera focused on a single rider, even if they're a local favorite.
