“Over the past five months, we have co-ordinated with organisers to ensure that the event will be a success,” said Nguyen Tien Hai, deputy director of Da Lat Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

The event is organised by the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Viet Nam Cycling and Sports Motor Federation and MTB Series Company.
