This stage witnessed the commendable effort of racer Nguyen Truc Xinh (HCMC New Group) when she successfully escaped alone for more than 80 km, won both awards along the way and was only caught up by her opponents with 5 km left.

The most exciting battle broke out at the Can Tho bridge slope (about 6 km from the finish line) when strong riders Savva Novikov (Binh Minh Plastics Binh Duong), Mikhail Fokin (Loc Troi Group An Giang ), Ethan Batt (Le Fruit Maxxis Dong Nai) attacked strongly. This was also the time when rider Pham Le Xuan Loc (Military Zone 7) put all his strength into the goal of taking the orange jersey title from Nguyen Hoang Sang (Le Fruit Maxxis Dong Nai).
