HÀ NỘI — The 10th Bình Dương International Women’s Cycling Tournament, Biwase Cup, will begin on February 28, seeing a record number of stages this year.

Nearly 200 athletes will take part in 10 stages over a total of 1,051km, starting from Bình Dương Province through six other localities, before wrapping up at Thủ Dầu Một City of Bình Dương on March 8.

As one of the most prestigious tournaments for women in Việt Nam over the past nine years, the Biwase Cup has lured 12 international teams. However, due to the deadly coronavirus, nine of them withdrew from the event, which offers up to VNĐ500 million in prize money for winning individuals and teams.

Three remaining teams are Velofit of Australia, Taiwan Cycling Team and the national team of Thailand. They will vie with eight local crews which include Lộc Trời An Giang Group, Gạo Hạt Ngọc Trời An Giang, TP.HCM – Mega Market and Biwase Bình Dương.

Individuals will compete for five jerseys: the yellow for the overall winner, the green for the best sprinter, the red for the Queen of the Mountain, the white for the best youngster and the pink for Miss Biwase Cup. Meanwhile the winning team will secure a championship trophy. — VNS
