Thuy Dung wins yellow jersey in Thailand
(VOV) - Female Vietnamese cyclist Thuy Dung wore the yellow jersey in the final stage of the Tour of Thailand 2013 after an outstanding performance on April 10.
Representing Vietnam, the Binh Duong team did their best to defend Dung’s position achieved in the second stage.
The final stage from Phang Nga to Phuket is 122.89 km long.
Cyclists from Taiwan and host Thailand pushed furiously to get ahead of Thuy Dung. Fortunately her teammates Cam Le, Ngoc Trang, Thuy Trang and Kim Ngan banded together to help Dung reach the finish line just two seconds faster than Taiwanese rival Huang Ting Ying.
This is the first time a Vietnamese cyclist has taken the trophy in an international tournament.
Vietnam’s male team ADC Vinh Long has invested massive amounts of time and energy to compete in previous Tour of Thailand events, but to no avail.
