This race took place in quite favorable weather conditions, creating favorable conditions for the athletes to compete with all their might. The racers continued to maintain a speed of over 40km/h, competing attractively. Today's road surface was wide, the guidance from the motorcycle team was very effective, helping the racers confidently break away. While the Binh Minh Binh Duong Plastics team was trying their best to support and protect the Yellow Jersey and the team's first place, the HCM New Group racing team was also doing its best to protect and support Le Nguyet Minh to break away in the sprints to gain more points, to shorten the gap with the Yellow Jersey Ha Kieu Tan Dai (Binh Minh Binh Duong Plastics).

In the end, Le Nguyet Minh finished first at the Ho Chi Minh City Reunification Hall. Second place went to racer Pham Le Xuan Loc (Military Zone 7), third place went to Tran Tuan Kiet (Dopagan Dong Thap ).

The organizers awarded the yellow jersey to the racer of HCM New Group team - Le Nguyet Minh.
