An Seonjin from the Republic of Korea beat yellow jersey holder Nguyen Thi That to win the third stage of the National Women’s Open Cycling Tournament of the An Giang Television Cup on July 12.

An was not in the leading group for most of the round, but she made an outstanding sprint as the tour neared the finish line.

Her sudden attack helped her pass That of the Hat Ngoc Troi crew to win the 96km tour from Dong Xoai Town of Binh Phuoc Province to Cu Chi District of HCM City, with a time of 2hr 39.18min.

Despite taking second place on July 12, That remains at the top of the overall ranking. Kim Hyunjin, also from the Republic of Korea, and An are placed second and third, respectively.

The Korea crew lead the team ranking by a six-second gap. Hat Ngoc Troi and Biwase Binh Duong are followers.

The fourth stage will run from Binh Chanh District to Tra Vinh Province, a 120km course.
