The race, which will be held at Gwangmyeong Speedome, will be divided into selection, excellence, and specialties. In the selection level, the difference in skills between the strong and the weak is somewhat large, and in the special selection level, there are strong candidates for the 0th place in the championship, Lim Chae-bin and Jung Jong-jin.

On the other hand, the excellent class does not have a big difference in skills, so there is a slugfest that is being hit every race, and it is emerging as a grade that has received the most attention from bicycle customers recently.

With this response from customers, the seven outstanding races at Gwangmyeong Speed Dome are dominated by solidarity matches. With one strong player representing the solidarity, a three-to-four or four-to-three match will take place with the leading and mark-and-draw challengers in the tactical balance. As players of the same solidarity gathered and the team competition unfolded, it became even more important which side and how structured the roles were divided.



In fact, if you look at the results of the Gwangmyeong Excellent Race in August, 40% of the cases won and finished second in the order of objective skill or overall score, and 60% of the cases ended in a one-sided victory. Even if different regiments won the prize together, it was rare for the strong players of each regulation to come in together, and rather, one ambush player from the other team often stepped in.

In particular, in Friday's qualifying round, where Sunday's final is at stake, it often ended with either side's complete victory. It was the same for all seven races on July 5 (Friday) and 19 (Friday).



On August 23, out of seven excellent races on the first day of the 33rd Gwangmyeong, athletes of the same solidarity succeeded in winning together in six races. When Shin Dong-hyun (23rd, A1, Cheongju) of the 6th race started off against Yoon Min-woo (20th, A1, Changwon Sangnam), Song Jong-hoon (24th, A2, Suseong) made a reflective profit by adding money in front of the finish line, and in the 7th race, Kim Si-hoo (20th, A1, Cheongpyeong) succeeded in attaching Ko Jong-in (14th, A2, Suseong) to the back and pulling Joo Hyun-wook (20th, A1, Gwangju individual) in third place.

In the 8th race, where Kim Bae-young (11th, A1, Gwangju individual) and Park Min-oh (19th, A1, Incheon) competed head-to-head, respectively, with Park Min-oh's solidarity, Kim Joon-il (23rd, A1, Gyeongnam individual), and Kim Young-jin (20th, A2, Mi-won), respectively, showed off their weight input and ranked first and second. In the 9th race, Lee Sung-yong (16th, A1, Shinsa) defeated strong Lee Yong-hee (13th, A2, East Seoul) and swept the first to third places along with Jang Ji-woong (26th, A2, Seoul Hannam) and Jung Hyun-ho (14th, A2, Gapyeong).



In the 10th race, the opponent's fight for revenge was immediately played. Lee Seong-rok (27, A1, Suseong) paid back the defeat of the nine races by showing his good performance of bringing in Choi Min-ho (17th, A2, Sejong) and Lee Yong-sung (28th, A3, individual Gyeonggi). In the 12th race, Cho Bong-cheol (14th, A1, Jinju) won the competition for leadership with Kang Min-sung (28th, A1, Sejong) again, bringing Kim Ho-joon (25th, A2, Changwon Sangnam) to second place.

In the 10th race on Saturday, August 31, Gong Min-woo (11th, A1, Gapyeong) competed for the lead early against Son Sung-jin (28th, A1, Geumjeong), who was defeated by him the previous day, and Lee Kyu-baek (13, A2, Daegu), Kim Byung-sun (20th, A3, Busan), and Lee Hyo (19th, A3, Yangju, Gyeonggi Province), who were chasing after them, stretched out side by side from the outside at the last minute, causing an unusual event.

Park Jin-soo, team leader of Kyung-ryun, Jeon Ji-ji, said, `In a team competition-style race, technical players are faithful to the role of checking the opponent by conducting joint operations with the same solidarity players rather than performing anomalous techniques of penetrating the opponent, so it often ends with either side's unilateral victory.' "In addition, when strong players compete for leadership and pride in solidarity, it is common for both players to gain reflective profits at the last minute due to physical exhaustion."
