Taking advantage of the strong teams keeping each other in line, 11 riders who were no longer able to compete for the overall title successfully attacked and separated the group. The gap between the leading group and the group in the yellow jersey led by Mikhail Fokin (Loc Troi An Giang Group) was at times more than 10 minutes. The attacks in the leading group caused 5 riders to fall behind due to physical decline, leaving only 6 riders to compete for the stage victory in Vung Tau City.

Nguyen Pham Quoc Khang (Pelio Kenda Dong Nai ) continuously tried to escape the leading group to finish alone but was fiercely pursued by his opponents. Finally, Russian foreign player Ivan Blokhin (Gao Hat Ngoc Troi An Giang) with a strong sprint, rose to win the stage.

The action in the top group in the final kilometers was exciting when racer Pham Le Xuan Loc took the initiative to attack to take the orange jersey title from Nguyen Hoang Sang. The strong pedaling of the racer from Military Zone 7 forced Nguyen Hoang Sang and the entire Le Fruit Maxxis Dong Nai team to give their all in the chase. It was not until the finish line that Nguyen Hoang Sang caught up with Pham Le Xuan Loc, thereby successfully defending the orange jersey title for the Vietnamese racer with the best performance.
