Ho Chi Minh City Television Cup Cycling Race 2026: Titles have been awarded.

Although there are still two stages left, the titles of the 2026 Ho Chi Minh City Television Cup National Cycling Race are practically decided.

The final two stages, held on April 29th and 30th, were primarily focused on identifying the stage winners and their 20 million VND prize.

A treble win for Ho Chi Minh City's cycling team?

Currently, after 23 stages, the yellow jersey is firmly in the hands of cyclist Yarash Uladzislau (TP.HCM New Group). In the overall standings, he is 1 minute and 1 second ahead of the second-place finisher, Sergei Kulikov (Loc Troi An Giang Group).

Earlier, the red jersey for "King of the Mountains" also went to Mugisha Moise (TP.HCM Vinama). The Rwandan rider made a powerful burst of speed on the Khanh Le pass in stage 16, completely surprising his rivals.

This was also the last stage of this year's Ho Chi Minh City Television Cup with a mountain pass. Therefore, it could be said that Moise might also be the last owner of the red jersey.

If they continue to finish successfully without incident in the final two stages, the yellow and red jerseys will be in the hands of the Ho Chi Minh City riders. In addition, the Ho Chi Minh City Vinama team is also leading the overall team standings, ahead of the second-placed team, Ho Chi Minh City Police, by 3 minutes and 30 seconds.

In recent stages, the Ho Chi Minh City Police team riders have consistently launched attacks, pushing strong riders into the leading group. However, they have yet to succeed in overtaking Ho Chi Minh City Vinama.

The final two stages also present the last chance for the Ho Chi Minh City Police cycling team to stage an upset. Otherwise, this year's televised cup will witness a "triple crown" for Ho Chi Minh City cyclists.

What a pity for the race for the green jersey.

The race for the green jersey for the best sprinter is also almost over. Marchuk Dzianis of the Kenda Dong Nai team is leading the list with 231 points. He is more than 100 points ahead of the runner-up, Anton Popov (Thanh Hoa).

Similar to Uladzislau and Moise, Marchuk Dzianis only needed to successfully finish in the final two stages to claim the green jersey. The competition for this green jersey truly created much disappointment for fans and for both Vinh Long teams (620 Vinh Long Agriculture , 620 Chau Thoi Vinh Long).

Before stage 16, Zachary Patrick Patterson of the 620 Vinh Long Agriculture team was in fierce competition with Marchuk Dzianis. Their gap was only around 10 points, and Patterson was in better form. However, the harsh conditions of the Khanh Le pass completely changed the situation. Patterson failed to finish within the allowed time, thus eliminating him from the race for the individual title.

What's even more regrettable is that he maintained excellent form in the later stages. For example, in stages 22 and 23, the New Zealand rider finished first. If he hadn't fallen behind in stage 16, he might have pulled off a spectacular upset in the race for the green jersey.

The orange jersey for the best Vietnamese rider is also firmly in the hands of Pham Le Xuan Loc (Military Region 7). Meanwhile, Tran Trong Phuc (Vo Dac Dong Nai) has more than a 90% chance of winning the white jersey for the best young rider.
