Every day at 5am, athletes gather at Lotte Mart Phan Thiet roundabout to check their bicycles and racing equipment. Every day, the racers will practice on the Hung Vuong - Nguyen Thong - Vo Nguyen Giap route. This is one of the routes that will be officially used for competition, so the athletes practice very actively to get used to the roads.

Racer Vo Thi Minh Huong shared that although she is a woman, she is still excited to participate, the main purpose is to satisfy her passion for cycling and to improve her health. These are opportunities to promote the development of sports, as well as attract tourists to Phan Thiet. Racer Vo Trung Nam said that as an amateur cyclist, participating in tournaments like this will give her the opportunity to exchange and learn from each other's experiences, improving her professional skills and techniques in competition.
