Tuan Vu's bicycle costs more than 400 million VND, the wheels alone are...
According to information from the Vietnamese cycling team, after arriving at Bangkok airport, the Vietnamese delegation boarded the organizing committee's bus to return to the competition venue. The competition equipment, including bicycles, spare tires, shoes, and helmets, was transported by truck by the organizing committee. The reason why the truck caught fire is still unknown. However, the number of bicycles and equipment that the Vietnamese cycling team lost was quite large. Among them, there were athletes competing in 2 events, so they had to bring 2 specialized vehicles to compete.
Among the 30 bikes of the Vietnamese cycling team that were burned in Thailand, racer Nguyen Tuan Vu was one of the most severely damaged athletes. He brought 2 racing bikes to this Asian tournament, including a specialized Cervelo bike used for individual time trial racing, which costs more than 400 million VND. Of which, the pair of Scope wheels alone cost 107 million VND. In addition, Nguyen Tuan Vu also brought a Giant bike for road racing, worth about 400 million VND. These are 2 bikes that the Ho Chi Minh City unit invested in for the main athlete Nguyen Tuan Vu and he used to compete when he joined the team.
How valuable are the burned bicycles of Vietnamese athletes? Who suffered the most damage?
Vietnamese cyclists this morning (February 6)
Nguyen Tuan Vu's personal time trial racing car worth about 400 million VND was burned down in Thailand.
The loss was no less than that of Nguyen Tuan Vu, the young talent Pham Le Xuan Loc (Army) when he brought to Thailand 2 Cervelo bikes, total value of more than 600 million VND. Loc Troi An Giang Group invested 8 bikes for Nguyen Thi That, Thu Mai... who are all Vietnamese cyclists this time. According to Mr. Tran Hai Trieu - General Secretary of An Giang Bicycle - Motorcycle Federation, the value of these 8 bikes must be more than 2 billion VND. The remaining bikes of the Vietnamese athletes are also from 150 million VND/bike. The total loss in the fire of the racing bikes of the Vietnamese cycling team is very large.
Racer Pham Le Xuan Loc's "war horse" is also gone after the equipment vehicle caught fire in Thailand.
"The coaching team is making a detailed list of each piece of equipment on the burned bike to send to the organizing committee for compensation. This is the responsibility of the organizing committee because they are in charge of all the transportation when we arrive in Thailand," said Nguyen Ngoc Vu, head of the Vietnamese cycling team participating in the Asian Road Cycling Championship.
According to research, all racing bicycles of the Vietnamese team are not insured but only have warranty policies from the manufacturers, so in case of a fire like the one just happened, there will be no compensation.
