According to Mr. Truong Cong Quoc Viet - Deputy Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Can Tho City, the tournament is organized by this unit in coordination with the Vietnam Cycling and Motorcycling Federation. All professional regulations are issued by the federation, and at the same time, forces are assigned to supervise and inspect the security and safety conditions of the race track before and during the competition.
The organizers said that they have thoroughly reviewed the road surface, removed obstacles and arranged a standard protection system, including inflatable buoys combined with rice husks to reduce shock around the competition area. Participating vehicles are also technically checked according to regulations before departure time.

H (born in 1997) was competing in the final round of the 4-stroke event, using the Yamaha Exciter 150cc line.
