Russian cyclist makes winning debut at Vietnamese national tournament

Russian cyclist Petr Rikunov of the Tap Doan Loc Troi team won the opening stage of the 2023 Ho Chi Minh City TV (HTV) Cup tournament in Hanoi on Sunday morning. After the opening whistle, numerous consecutive attacks broke out, causing the racing teams to split and reunite multiple times under the control of the Loc Troi team, spearheaded by Rikunov. The victory helped the Russian biker temporarily hold the most prestigious yellow jersey of the tourney right on his debut at a tournament in Vietnam as Tap Doan Loc Troi just welcomed him on Tuesday.
