18-year-old crab race 15 best cross-Vietnam bicycle tour

The route is long and the weather is hot, but the 15th leg is still attractive thanks to strong teams competing fiercely to win titles. With the goal of comparing the Yellow Shirt and the first place of teammates held by Dong Nai, the riders in HCM City and An Giang attacked continuously.

That turns the race into two groups, an engaging and dramatic chase. The first group with nine riders, including two Ho Chi Minh City Vinama trailers, Tran Thanh Dien, Nguyen Minh Viet, two An Giang riders Nguyen Hoang Giang, Tang Quy Trong, and Tran Thanh Nhanh (Ho Chi Minh City New Group) , Vo Minh Gia Bao (Military Region 7).

If successfully escaping to the finish line, Minh Viet has a chance to “tear” Loic Desriac’s Yellow Shirt, Ho Chi Minh City’s Vinama team also usurped the first place of teammates, and Quy Trong has a chance to win the White Shirt.

With the above posture, the riders in Ho Chi Minh City and An Giang joined forces to pull the top to create more distance than the other group. Meanwhile, in the following group, Dong Nai riders also held a chase. The speed of the two groups is pushed up very high, sometimes over 50 km / h, in which the first group regularly maintains a distance of 1 minute and 30 seconds.

At the last 10 kilometers, the eastern group in the rear had more Dong Thap to support, and with Dong Nai chasing. Two kilometers away, they caught up with the first group, forming a large group.

Vo Minh Gia Bao wisely mustered in this large group, then suddenly opened his speed, attacked strongly when he was more than 1km from the target and returned to the first place. His teammate, Huynh Thanh Tung, finished second, while Trinh Duc Tam finished third.

At the end of the eastern group Desriac successfully defended the Yellow Shirt, Hai Dang kept the White Shirt. Tan Hoai continues to wear the Blue Shirt. Dong Nai team retained the first place of teammates with a distance of 10 seconds compared to the second ranked team Vinama Ho Chi Minh City. In this race, no pass scores are included, so driver Nguyen Pham Quoc Khang (Dong Nai) still keeps the Red Dot shirt.

Tomorrow 23/4, the race 16 from Binh Dinh – Phu Yen is 94 kilometers long.
