PANO – Cyclist Do Tuan Anh from the DOMESCO Pharmacy Dong Thap 1 team topped the fifth stage of the ongoing Across-Vietnam Cycling Tournament-The Vietnam Defence Cup 2014 with a distance of 122km from Quang Ngai to Da Nang cities, on December 7th, followed by cyclists Tran Van Quyen from the Army 1 and Ho Van Phuc from ADC-Vinh Long Television.
Active encouragement of locals along the road was a driving force for cyclists to complete the stage in spite of heavy rain. Closely followed by others, Do Tuan Anh fought off stiff competition to take the first place in the stage in 3 hours 3 minutes 35 seconds.
Before the fifth stage, the organizing panel presented yellow and green jerseys to outstanding cyclists of the fourth stage and granted meaningful gifts to policy beneficiaries, revolution contributors, needy officers and defence workers in Quang Ngai province, and scholarships to children of needy officers and troops of the provincial armed forces.
In the afternoon, the organizers visited and offered gifts to the family of wounded soldier Phan Van Nhieu in Hoa Cuong Bac ward, Hai Chau district, Da Nang. Nhieu’s family has a hard life as his health and his wife’s is poor.
