The French cyclist also grabbed the green jersey for the best cyclist with 45 points.
After three stages, Cường topped the ranking table, Koop was second and his teammate, Changpad Kritsada, was in third place.
In the team ranking, Hạt Ngọc Trời was in first place. Domesco Đồng Tháp and Vietnam USA Society English Centre were second and third, respectively.
