Before entering the final stage from Rayong to Dok Krai Reservoir, which is 89km long, That gained all four yellow, green, red and purple jerseys. Therefore, the Vietnamese team were expected to face many difficulties before the attack of the remaining 11 racing teams.
However, in the first prize along the way, That once again proved her strength in sprinting, surpassing her arch-rival Maneephan Jutatip of Thailand to gain five more points for the green jersey.
However, since then, the Vietnamese cycling team have struggled as other teams joined forces to beat them.
As the tournament belongs to the competition system of the International Cycling Union, That will receive more than 51 points in the world bicycle rankings.
