HÀ NỘI — Nguyễn Thị Thật finished second at the 2024 Tour of Thailand cycling tournament that wrapped up on April 10.

Despite her strong effort, Thật could only come third at the third and final stage of 70km from Bueng Sam Phan to Si Tep Historical Park.

She was a hair behind Jutatip Maneephan of the host and Claudia Marcks of Australia.

With the outstanding win in the last stage after cycling 1hr 29.43min Maneephan overcame Thật in the overall ranking to take the yellow jersey. She was also the best sprinter and took the green jersey and the best ASEAN rider to bag the purple jersey.

“After three stages, Thật had the same time as Maneephan, but due to her defeat in the last stage Thật lost all three valuable jerseys that she held after two first stages,” said Nguyễn Ngọc Vũ, general secretary of the Việt Nam Cycling and Motor Sports Federation.

The Thai event was one of Thật's warm-ups for the 2024 Olympics. Thật will have three months to prepare for her best performance in Paris in the end of July. VNS
