Biwase Cup 2023 International Women's Cycling Tournament Ends

Because it was the final race, racers Bui Thi Quynh, Dinh Thi Nhu Quynh (Biwase- Binh Duong ), Nguyen Thi Thu Mai and Nguyen Thi Thi (Loc Troi Group) took turns attacking to escape when these racers were only more than 1 minute ahead of the yellow jersey Batriya Chaniporn (Thailand), but all these efforts were unsuccessful as the Thai crew always tried their best to pull the large group back to catch them.

The riders compete in the final stage

With nearly 5 km to the finish line, racer Lam Thi Kim Ngan (Loc Troi Group) escaped from Tsubasa Makise to successfully reach the finish line alone and won the final stage with a time of 2h 44'00" - an average speed of 40.976 km/h. Racer Batriya Chaniporn won the yellow jersey with a total time of 28h 32'45", second place was Somerat Phetdarin (Thailand - more than 23") and third place was Bui Thi Quynh (more than 1'02").

Batriya Chaniporn won the yellow jersey in the end.

Racer Bui Thi Quynh won the green jersey with 84 points, followed by Nguyen Thi Thu Mai (71 points) and Nur Aisyah Binti Mohd Zubir (60 points). Racer Lam Thi Thuy Duong (HCMC Vinama) won the white jersey when she ranked 7th overall, followed by Yeong Zhen Yi (Malaysia) and Le Thi Nha Linh (Military Zone 7) in third place. The home team Biwase-Binh Duong successfully defended the team championship with a total time of 85h 44'42", placing second behind Loc Troi Group (over 55") and third behind Thailand (over 7'13").

Host Biwase - Binh Duong won the team championship

Thus, after 10 fierce and intense stages when the racers had to conquer 6 passes and overcome a distance of more than 1100 km, the tournament was a great success with the final results belonging to the strong teams, which were very deserving. Although they were not successful in competing for the yellow jersey title, the careful preparation before the tournament brought the home team Biwase - Binh Duong to win the championship (with a prize of 35 million VND) along with the excellent green jersey title of athlete Bui Thi Quynh (25 million VND). The outstanding effort of athlete Nguyen Thi Thu Mai in the 6th stage when successfully conquering all 3 passes Vinh Hy 1, 2, 3 brought this racer the title of mountain queen (25 million VND) and contributed to the Loc Troi Group team ranking second in the team competition.

With 7 guest teams from the region participating in the tournament, domestic teams have the opportunity to compete and gain more experience on the track, thereby helping our female racers develop professionally, so that next year's tournament will have the opportunity to compete with higher results.
