The Champion
One day a man named John entered the tour de France. John is a
really good bike rider and has won gold at the Olympics.
This will be his first time riding this race. He is the current world no1
and is the most feared competitor in the world.
The whole tournament he had been riding really well. He had been
coming 1st and 2nd the whole time.
On the last day he went into the race coming first overall by a minute
and 20 seconds.
Coming into the race he didn’t feel confident for some reason. He
felt like he was going to fail miserable. But anyway he kept on
fighting and pushing on with the race.
TAKE YOUR MARK. SET. GO.
And off they went like ferocious cheetahs hunting a gazelle.
John got a great start out of the blocks and was in the lead. John’s
gameplay was to start quick and finish quick and always stay in front
of the pack.
John is literally flying, he is like a jet souring through the air, but he’s
on the ground riding his bike. At one stage it looked like he was going
too fast for anyone to see him, the only thing was; quick is not quick
enough for John.
At one stage after the hill named “The Killer”, John could hear
breathing just behind him. John , with no energy, decided to turn
around and unexpectedly that breath belonged to the former champ,
Greg Fret, who was coming second overall prior to this leg of the
race.
You’ll never guess what happens next?
Riding down “The Killer”, John felt like something was nudging his
back wheel (but when you’re travelling 80kph you can’t turn around
and have a look behind, you just have to keep focused)
and suddenly when the hill had finished Greg Fret used his wheel to
knock John and his bike over.
John came crashing down like a ton of bricks. You could see the pain
in his face it was like someone had just cut his whole body open,
that’s how many cuts he had on his body.
His body was bloodied, broken and bruised from head to toe. You
could see that John had broken a couple of bones including his good
muscly right leg, this was going to make finishing this race very
difficult.
John got up and decided to walk but after a while his leg got sore so
he thought to use his phone to call his car to pick him up, but when
he tried to get his phone out he’s phone wouldn’t turn on it was
broken from the hit that he took when he fell to the ground.
Even though he was in so much pain he decided to finish the race off
using one leg to pedal and his bruised leg was hanging out the side.
The thing that made him keep pushing was that when he finished he
could go straight to a hospital.
Even though he was trying his hardest he started to drop back places
in the field and eventually he was coming last but he didn’t stop he
didn’t quit he fought through the pain.
