Min Kyeong Ho rules Tour of Luzon Stage 13; Pinoy Joseph Javiniar finishes third

Min Kyeong Ho, who earlier dominated the race's longest stage, proved his versatility anew by winning the shortest distance as well, ruling Stage 13 of the 2026 Tour of Luzon on Tuesday in Lingayen, Pangasinan.

The 29-year-old Korean cyclist of the Seoul Cycling Team clocked 25 minutes and 39 seconds to reign supreme in the 20-kilometer race of individual time trial.

The latest victory allowed him to bag another title after his Stage 6 victory that saw him conquer the grueling 228.8-kilometer Stage 6 race in Ilocos Norte.

Meanwhile, overall leader Nikita Shulchenko further widened the gap after finishing second in the penultimate leg as Filipino rider Joseph Javiniar wound up third.

Shulchenko remains the top cyclist with a total time of 36 minutes, 42 minutes, and 22 seconds while French bet Antoine Huby, who ruled Stage 12 on Monday, is still in second place. Yousef Ibrahiem Alrefai is running third.

The Tour of Luzon wraps up on Wednesday, May 13, with a 177.8-km leg in Stage 14 that begins at the Pangasinan Provincial Capitol in Lingayen and ends at John Hay Hotels in Baguio City.
