Exciting Moments Await in VMRC 2019 Stage 4

The halfway mark of the 2019 VMRC season has brought intense competition across all 4 categories: Blade 110, MSX 125, UB130, and Winner 150. As the racers enter the “finish line” stage after the first half of the season, the battle for the championship title becomes even more fierce. Each racer and team meticulously calculates every move to avoid becoming mere spectators at the championship award ceremony.

In the Blade 110 category, racer Nguyen Duc Thanh currently holds a nearly insurmountable advantage with 3 consecutive first-place finishes, leading racer VU Hoang Nam by 13 points. Furthermore, Nguyen Duc Thanh has the added benefit of racing for the Honda Racing Vietnam team in the UB150 category of the ARRC 2019 season starting from stage 4. The opportunity to compete internationally has greatly improved Duc Thanh’s technical skills and strategic vision. Most recently, at stage 5 of the ARRC 2019 in China, he displayed an outstanding performance. Therefore, it would not be surprising if Duc Thanh continues to dominate stage 4 of VMRC 2019. However, racing always holds unexpected elements, and it should be noted that VU Hoang Nam is also a formidable rival, closely chasing Duc Thanh in the past 3 stages. Can he stage a dramatic comeback in stage 4? Let’s wait and find out.

In the MSX 125 category, the competition is intense and unpredictable, with 4 racers vying for the championship title with just a 4-point difference. Currently, the leading racer is Nguyen Ngoc Nhan. The MSX 125 category is the most balanced and competitive category of VMRC 2019, resulting in intense battles. It is difficult for both fans and experts to predict which racer will gain the upper hand in stage 4, where the race track 2K is considered a perfect fit for Honda MSX125.

The UB130 category has witnessed surprising developments, with top racers like defending champion Bui Duy Thong and Doan Truong Loi experiencing inconsistent performances, while Le Trong Vinh and Le Phung have emerged as the frontrunners. In stage 3 of VMRC 2019, the UB130 category witnessed an impressive performance by Tran Hoang Phuc, who achieved absolute victory in both Pole and Podium. Will top racers like Duy Thong and Truong Loi regain their form, or will new talents emerge in stage 4? In this upcoming stage, some racers will be absent due to injuries. However, with the participation of the top 5 racers in the championship standings, the competition in the UB130 category will remain fierce, making it difficult to predict the outcome.

In addition to the intense competition among the racers, there is also intense competition among the clubs in the UB130 category. The clubs with the greatest advantage are KYT-RCB Uma (also known as Quy chia racing team) with Bui Duy Thong, followed by KYT-RCB Uma Dong Nghi Racing Team with racer To Ha Dong Nghi. Behind them, the competition is further shaken up by Thanh Hung Bike, as in this stage, racer Le Phung, who has been performing exceptionally well, will switch to racing for My Danh mobile Cao Lanh. Other strong contenders include clubs such as Hong Spacy, Truong Thap Muoi, and Loc Binh Racing Team. All clubs will strive to achieve the highest rankings in stage 4.

Finally, in the Winner 150 category, it would come as no surprise if the duo of Nguyen Tuan Anh and Le Hung Huu Tin continues to dominate and dash the hopes of other racers, just as they did in the VMRC 2018 season and the first half of the VMRC 2019 season. Currently, racer Le Hung Huu Tin #49 is in first place with 45 points after 3 stages, followed by racer Nguyen Anh Tuan #47 with 42 points and racer Le Phuoc Minh #53 with 22 points. With these developments in the Winner 150 category after 3 stages, racers outside the top 3 will have to make a tremendous effort if they want to break into the top 3 in this season.

In the upcoming stage 4, the Honda Winner 150 motorcycles competing in the Winner 150 category will feature a new design, promising to increase attraction and further intensify the competition, potentially allowing racers like Le Phuoc Minh and Nguyen Vu Tuan Anh to challenge the dominance of the “tandem” scenario in this category. All racers are eagerly awaiting the debut of the new design.

Stage 4 of VMRC 2019 will witness the competition of 49 racers across 4 categories (some racers will be unable to compete in this stage due to injuries): Blade 110 (11 racers), MSX 125 (12 racers), Winner 150 (12 racers), and UB 130 (14 racers). The race will take place at the 2K race track in Binh Duong.

The 2K race track is no stranger to speed enthusiasts nationwide. Each race held at this circuit is always thrilling and filled with unexpected twists. It is also a race track that sees a high number of crashes. Therefore, it poses a challenge to the technical skills of all racers.

The weather in Binh Duong on the upcoming Sunday is expected to be accompanied by light rain and wind. This weather condition will present even greater challenges for the racers, elevating the level of competition. Everyone is eagerly anticipating a belated Mid-Autumn gift that Honda Vietnam and the racers will deliver to all fans.
