HÀ NỘI — Loic Desriac of Bike Life Đồng Nai triumphed in the fourth stage of the International Cycling Tournament, the VTV- Tôn Hoa Sen Cup Wednesday morning.

Desriac won the 9km stage in individual trial finishing with a time of 10 minutes and 38.12secs with the average speed of 48.518 km/h. Trịnh Đức Tâm of Lộc Trời Group and Patrick Saccani Williams of Australia were the runners-up with times of 10:51.36 and 10:52.39, respectively.

Yellow jersey holder Jordan Parra of Bike Life Đồng Nai failed to make the top 10 after suffering a puncture around 2km in. So Desriac stole the yellow jersey from his teammate Parra in this stage.

However, Parra still held the green jersey as the best sprinter.
