Russian cyclist Natalya Frolova told that she was excited about the opportunity to compete on the highway offered by the Vietnamese side.
In mid-March, Frolova won the Biwase Cup stage race in Vietnam, where she competed as part of the local team.
— My husband had a racing experience in Vietnam. The director of the women’s team wrote to him asking him to find strong Russian athletes. He nominated me and I nominated Gulnaz (Khatuntseva).
— What were the first questions asked to your husband about this – about heat and food?
– No. I understood that it would be very hot and I would only eat rice, so the questions were all about the race. By the way, I expected it wouldn’t be that hot.
I was curious to see how I would drive in such conditions. The race is quite long – 10 stages. I wanted to understand how I would cope with this in such conditions. In addition, the weather conditions here allow good highway work. In Turkey at this time of year the weather conditions are worse than in Vietnam. It hasn’t rained once here for a month and a half,” Frolova said in an interview with .
