Vietnamese cyclist has accident at Asian cycling tournament in Thailand

Today (February 13), cyclist Nguyen Dan Binh and his teammates Phung Quoc Ha, Dang Van Phap, and Pham Anh Hao competed in the mass start event for the young men's team at the Asian Road Cycling Championship.

Nguyen Dan Binh (red shirt) had an accident on the Asian race track.

This race has a 117.7 km race route and features many strong opponents from Kazakhstan, UAE, Iran, Hong Kong (China), Japan... so the goal set by the coaching staff for the young Vietnamese athletes is to try to stay close, and if there is an opportunity, they will take advantage. The Vietnamese cyclists followed the tactics set by the coaching staff well, in which racer Dang Van Phap successfully stayed close in the top 2 in an effort to chase the 3 leading riders.

Nguyen Dan Binh is receiving medical care after the accident.

The unfortunate accident happened on the track when a group of cyclists, including Nguyen Dan Binh, collided with each other, causing them to fall. Coach Mai Cong Hieu said the accident caused the young Vietnamese cyclist to break his bike's side, injure his shoulder and ankle, and had to leave the track.

Speaking to Thanh Nien Online , Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Vu - head of the Vietnamese delegation participating in the Asian cycling tournament said: "Athlete Nguyen Dan Binh suffered a dislocated shoulder and sprained ankle after an unfortunate fall on the track. The Vietnamese team's coaching staff took this athlete to the hospital for examination and treatment and are awaiting the results. Nguyen Dan Binh's bicycle was lent by the host Thailand and his ribs were broken after the accident, so the Vietnamese side had to compensate them with a new rib."

Nguyen Dan Binh's racing car had a broken rib after an accident on the track. This car was lent by the host team Thailand, so the Vietnamese team had to compensate.

At the end of the mass start event for the junior men's team, Yip Hon Man (Hong Kong, China) won the gold medal, Mirbagheri (Iran) won the silver medal, and Sakuntae Thanapat (Thailand) won the bronze medal. Dang Van Phap was the Vietnamese racer with the best result, ranking 7th overall.

The Vietnamese cycling team participated in the 2025 Asian tournament with a large force, competing in 4 groups including the team, U.23, youth team and grassroots. On the first day of the tournament, the Vietnamese cycling team was unlucky with a fire in a truck carrying racing bicycles and equipment, causing 29 bicycles to burn down. As of yesterday, the Vietnamese team won 2 gold medals, both thanks to the athletes in the grassroots category, including individual gold medals by Ton Hoang Khanh Lan (female) and Hoang Hai Nam (male).
